I want a paradise

“Your mental health comes before school, always. If it’s midnight, and you have an exam the next day, but your hands have been shaking for the past hour and a half and you’re not so sure you want to be alive anymore, pull out that carton of Ben and Jerry’s and afterwards, go the fuck to bed. So what if you get a 68% on the exam the next day? You took care of yourself and at the end of the day that will always come before a high test score. To hell with anyone who tells you differently.”

“My life is unmanageable and I’d like to share it with you.”

“The things I want to remember I can’t, and the things I try so hard to forget just keep coming.”

“You were hurt badly, and those scars will be with you for ever. I feel sorry for you, I really do. But think of it like this: it’s not too late to recover. You’re young, you’re tough. You’re adaptable. You can patch up your wounds, lift up your head and move on.”

“You have a place in my heart no one else ever could have.”

“If I had my way we’d sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes.”
