I don't know how I can be so ambitious and so lazy at the same time.
regret failure people
I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed.
get-better i-can can-do
That's all I can do. I'll keep at it and hope it gets better.
depression baby owl
So why am I depressed? That's the million-dollar question, baby, the Tootsie Roll question; not even the owl knows the answer to that one. I don't know either. All I know is the chronology.
sad depression suicide
I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.

I work. And I think about work, and I freak out about work, and I think about how much I think about work, and I freak out about how much I think about how much I think about work, and I think about how freaked out I get about how much I think about how much I think about work.

It’s a huge thing, this Shift, just as big as I imagined. My brain doesn’t want to think anymore; all of a sudden it wants to do.

One thing I've learnt recently: how to think nothing. Here's the trick: don't have any interest in the world around you, don't have any hope for the future, and be warm.
book jealous thinking
I found myself jealous of the people who wrote the books. They were dead and they were still taking up my time. Who did they think they were?
thinking enemy knows
Do you even know who the enemy is?" "I think... it's me".
lying thinking knowing
It’s tough to get out of bed; I know that myself. You can lie there for an hour and a half without thinking anything, just worrying about what the day holds and knowing that you won’t be able to deal with it.
