“Parfois, la dernière chose à faire c'est essayer.
Essayer de paraître normale.
Essayer de paraître heureuse.
Essayer de rester soi-même.
Essayer de rester positive.
Essayer de se dire que tout ira mieux alors qu'au fond,
bien au fond, on sait que c'est faux.
Parfois, la dernière chose à faire,
c'est simplement essayer de vivre.”
― Objectif Vancouver

“Toute ma vie, j'ai évité ce mot à cause de tout ce qu'il entraîne : le vide, le silence... Je suis seule. Je suis seule. Je suis seule. Je suis seule. Subitement, cette réalité est trop lourde pour moi. J'ai la sensation que quelque chose brûle en moi.”

“C'est drôle de constater que les gens en qui nous avons le plus confiance, ceux qui nous entourent, ne sont pas nécessairement ceux dont on a besoin. On peut passer des jours, voire des années avec ces personnes et ne rien recevoir en retour. Par contre, dans les instants les plus inattendus, un parfait inconnu peut nous accorder quelques minutes et nous dire quelques paroles qui ont le pouvoir de nous donner des ailes. En fin de compte, ces brèves minutes valent plus que tout le temps passé avec notre entourage. En fin de compte, ces minutes allument un feu brûlant au fond de nous. Ce feu brûlant, c'est l'espoir et avec l'espoir, tout est possible.”

“For the first time in what seems like eons, my body doesn't feel so clenched, so hot. And suddenly, I realize that the dot out there on my horizon line--the same dot everything in my world points to, like in the one-point perspective sketches Mom taught me how to draw--it's not any old spot, you know. It's not some charcoal smudge. It's peace.”

“There used to be days that I thought I was okay, or at least that I was going to be. We'd be hanging out somewhere and everything would just fit right and I would think 'it will be okay if it can just be like this forever' but of course nothing can ever stay just how it is forever.”

“Here's how I feel: People take one another for granted. Like, I'd just hang out with Ingrid in all these random places--in her room or at school or just on a sidewalk somewhere. And the whole time we'd tell eachother things, just say our thoughts outloud. Maybe that would have been boring to some people, but it was never boring to us. I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head. You just think that things will stay the way they are. You never look up, in a moment that feels like every other moment of your life, and think, "Soon this will be over." But I understand more now. About how life works.”

“I wish I knew why she never told me any of this. Maybe she thought I wouldn't be able to handle it, that I was too sheltered or too innocent or something. If she had told me why she cut herself all the time, or that it was the pills that made her act so spaced out, or that she was even on pills, or even saw doctors, or any of it, I would have done my best to help her. I'm not saying I'm a superhero. I'm not saying I would have just swooped down and saved her. I'm just saying the only reason everything was a waste was that she made it a waste. That whole time, back when I was just a normal kid in high school, living out my normal life, I really thought everything mattered.”

“You couldn't really say that something that hurts so badly feels good exactly. It's more that it just feels right. And something that feels so right just couldn't be bad. It has to be good.”
