If you don't
understand mental illness, good. Good for you. You shouldn't
have to.If you don't
understand why some people can't get out of bed in the
morning, good. I hope you jump out of bed ever single day; ready
to take the world by storm.If you don't
understand how someone could drag a blade across their skin,
good. I hope you're never that desperate to feel
something.If you don't
understand what would drive a girl to keep starving herself
despite everything she's lost in the process, good. Stay
heavy & present & real.If you don't
understand why he won't just go to church or rehab or find
someone who can help him, good. I hope you always have somewhere
to turn.If you don't
understand how someone can keep swallowing bottles of pills,
tying knots in ropes, or standing at the top of a bridge, good. I
hope you never feel that desperate for
relief.If you don't
understand, good. You're not supposed to. It's all
f.ucking sick. Thank God for ignorance,it's
healthy.
I don't know
who any of you people are.
For some reason I care about you all so much. Cos I accept
the fact that we are all of the same species. We are all
human. We are all trying so desperately to do something
positive. Be something positive. Become something that can
unfold in a way that way benefit the world and the people
around us.
