Quotes by Courtney Cook (?)

“What do you do when you’re given everything and still feel empty? The problem is, my wants are intangible, a cosmic longing for something unattainable. I am always reaching for more, but “more” is generally for someone who doesn’t love me to love me back, or for the entire world to think I’m special, or for everyone who meets me to fall in love with me. In other words, my “more” can’t exist. My “more” is impossible. My “more” eats away at me from the inside. I”

“to someone who is borderline, it’s the long-awaited proof of being secretly hated, of being inevitably left behind. Though very real parts of the disorder, these symptoms of borderline are treated as irrational, “crazy.” They aren’t seen as excusable, or as something that can be understood. As a result, they aren’t symptoms you admit to, and they certainly aren’t symptoms you expect sympathy for. There is no greeting card for my ghost.”
