– source: Google translate. Because I suck at my own mother tongue.
But still though, these two words are the truth right now. Because all the meaning they now hold for me are thanks to my mother and our long conversation today. This is what we will strive for. The mother-daughter motto, all day,...

identity
A few revelations from a group meeting tonight:
“Who am I” can be a pretty difficult question for anybody to answer. And when you have a mood disorder, you can never be sure that the “I” you describe today is as a result of just who you are as a person, or who you become due to your illness. Everything is, after all, distorted.
When you’re in the midst of a good...

I need to stop.
Today I stopped, to some extent. I haven’t left my apartment since Friday and today (Sunday) I actually let myself stay under the bed covers, willfully shutting the sun out of my eyes until 3pm. I had to keep reminding myself to stop. Self-recrimination comes so easily to me I usually don’t even realize how badly I’m beating myself up until someone else points it...

britticisms:
What I know now is that “authenticity” is accepting one form of artifice over the other. It is the belief in one reality over the other. It is the pursuit of one idea of life over the other. It is this thing over the other. Authenticity is for those who feel uncomfortable in both. It is for the people who could never let go enough to just be. They give second glances. One foot...

– This Recording Star Alice Bolin in “The Methodless Method” for The New Yorker
This reminds me of my moleskine for favorite quotes. It made sense at 18 in a way that it doesn’t now at 25. Or not that it doesn’t, but that it can’t in the same capacity.
It also reminds me of this quote and scene...
