"My real enemies were their voices in my head, the imagined versions of them that occupied the offices of my brain and made sure every little thing I wanted to do went through them first."

It took me a year-plus of therapy to finally figure this out between me and my deceased mother. Glad to see this sentiment again here!

This is poetry: Pain likes to propagate itself at your expense. It’s not enough for it to burn you up on the inside. It wants you to open your mouth and let it loose on someone else. I’ve never met a cruel person who was content with themselves. It’s all misery, seeking company.
