“if you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise”
Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

“Be confident. Be compassionate. Be humble. Be generous. The universe returns to you what you put out.”
Lauren Jauregui

Matthew Quick
“Not letting the world destroy you. That’s a daily battle.”
Matthew Quick, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock

Susanna Kaysen
“The disorder is more common in women."
Note the construction of that sentence. They did not write, "The disorder is more common in women." It would still be suspect, but they didn't bother trying to cover their tracks.
Many disorders, judging by the hospital population, were more commonly diagnosed in women. Take, for example, "compulsive promiscuity."
How many girls do you think a seventeen-year-old boy would have to screw to earn the label "compulsively promiscuous"? Three? No, not enough. Six? Doubtful. Ten? That seems more likely. Probably in the fifteen-to-twenty range, would be my guess - if they ever put that label on boys, which I don't recall their doing....
In the list of six "potentially self-damaging" activities favored by the borderline personality, three are commonly associated with women (shopping sprees, shoplifting, and eating binges) and one with men (reckless driving). One is not "gender specific," as they say these days (psychoactive substance abuse). And the definition of the other (casual sex) is in the eye of the beholder.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

“If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies how different out ideals of beauty would be.”
Lauren Jauregui
