- “There was a time when I hated my husband, toddler son, and everyone around me.” I’m not sure why I felt that way, considering they’re my family. Then I had the opportunity to go on a 24-hour solo vacation in a small cabin in the woods with a small outdoor jacuzzi, no phone signal, and no internet. It was ideal, and I was able to recharge and unwind. It turns out I didn’t really dislike them; I was just tired and overstimulated.”

- “Our brains will eat what we feed them, and our mental health will reflect that.” In the same vein, if someone tells me not to click on this link or that they wish they hadn’t, I don’t. It’s not a bad thing to miss something terrible.”

“I restricted my interactions with anyone who used me as a diary or therapist.” If they go too far, I’ll sometimes just stop engaging with them entirely. I’ve been told that I’m easy to talk to, but the key word there is ‘to.’ I don’t like it when people just talk at me.”
