| f962151 | The most important thing to remember about depression is this: you do not get the time back. It is not tacked on at the end of your life to make up for the disaster years.

| 969c230 | Sometimes you fall, spinning through space, grasping for the things that keep you on this earth. Sometimes you catch them. They can be the hands of the people you love.

| dc3dd01 | Songs and smells will bring you back to a moment in time more than anything else. It's amazing how much can be conjured with a few notes of a song or a solitary whiff of a room. A song you didn't even pay attention to at the time, a place that you didn't even know had a particular smell. I wonder what will someday bring back Dex and our few months together.

| 5f8478d | I feel the urge, familiar now, to wrench myself from my body and speak directly into her mind.

| 43fed43 | To write is to forget. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. Music soothes, the visual arts exhilarates, the performing arts (such as acting and dance) entertain. Literature, however, retreats from life by turning in into slumber.

Literature simu.. | literature | Fernando Pessoa | |
