I wanted a complicated life.

I__ wish it were easier to not allow other people__ pasts to create my own present.

Sadly enough, the most painful goodbyes are the ones that are left unsaid and never explained.

Forget about being impressive and commit to being real. Because being real is impressive!

Sometimes I return back to the state of mind I had as a child when I believed nothing was impossible.

I keep moving ahead, as always, knowing deep down inside that I am a good person and that I am worthy of a good life.

You can__ be beaten by something you laugh at.

The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of the world but those who fight and win battles that others do not know anything about.

Thoughts. Thoughts bombard my head, my brain. My psyche

How simple it is to acknowledge that all the worry in the world could not control the future. How simple it is to see that we can only be happy now, and that there will never be a time when it is not now.

We all have problems, but let's not kid ourselves: it's how we deal with them that makes the difference.

I have schizophrenia. I am not schizophrenia. I am not my mental illness. My illness is a part of me.

Pessimists try to convince you the world sucks, optimists already know it does and smile anyway.

The drug I take is called schizophrenia, among other labels, which I desperately want to put away. I want to put the drug of schizophrenia down, and I want to put down the stigma surrounding its label.

No, Ben. What I__ asking is: Are you the vehicle, and Georgie rides around in you? That is why Ben__ the driver, right?

You know what is beautiful? A real conversation with a real person.

You__e got to reach bedrock to become depressed enough before you are forced to accept the reality and enormity of the problem.

I__e always loved the night, when everyone else is asleep and the world is all mine. It__ quiet and dark__he perfect time for creativity.
