Quote preview background for Stephanie Perkins
That__ the thing about depression. When I feel it deeply, I don__ want to let it go. It becomes a comfort. I want to cloak myself under its heavy weight and breathe it into my lungs. I want to nurture it, grow it, cultivate it. It__ mine. I want to check out with it, drift asleep wrapped in its arms and not wake up for a long, long time.
