“Maybe we all have darkness inside of us and some of us are better at dealing with it than others.”

“Anyone who has actually been that sad can tell you that there's nothing beautiful or literary or mysterious about depression.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“You're like a grey sky. You're beautiful, even though you don't want to be.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“I will be stronger than my sadness.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“Sometimes I wonder if my heart is like a black hole--it's so dense that there's no room for light, but that doesn't mean it can't still suck me in.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“Depression is like a heaviness that you can’t ever escape. It crushes down on you, making even the smallest things like tying your shoes or chewing on toast seem like a twenty-mile hike uphill. Depression is a part of you; it’s in your bones and your blood.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“I wonder if that's how darkness wins, by convincing us to trap it inside ourselves, instead of emptying it out.I don't want it to win.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“I once read in my physics book that the universe begs to be observed, that energy travels and transfers when people pay attention. Maybe that's what love really boils down to--having someone who cares enough to pay attention so that you're encouraged to travel and transfer, to make your potential energy spark into kinetic energy.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“It’s funny how once you like someone, even the unattractive things they do somehow become endearing.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“It's like your sadness is so deep and overwhelming that you're worried it will drown everyone else in your life if you let them too close to it.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“He was fucking sad. That's it. That's the point. He knows life is never going to get any different for him. That there's no fixing him. It's always going to be the same monotonous depressing bullshit. Boring, sad, boring, sad. He just wants it to be over.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“I wish I could draw you how I see you. I'd draw a boy with the most magnetic smile, and the kindest hands, and eyes that are gloomy, but can sometimes be bright. I'd draw a boy who deserves to see the ocean.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“Life can seem awful and unfixable until the universe shifts a little and the observation point is altered, and then suddenly, everything seems more bearable.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“..because never in my life have I ever been picked when there was another alternative.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“You know, Zellie, there are enough broken things in the world. You shouldn't go around breaking things just for the fun of it.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“I like other people's words. They fill me up.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“Maybe the sadness comes just before the insanity” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“I spend a lot of time wondering what dying feels like. What dying sounds like. If I’ll burst like those notes, let out my last cries of pain, and then go silent forever. Or maybe I’ll turn into a shadowy static that’s barely there, if you just listen hard enough.” ― Jasmine warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
“And this time, I can feel my hand. I can feel everything. And I want to keep feeling everything. Even the painful, awful, terrible things. Because feeling things is what lets us know that we’re alive.And I want to be alive.” ― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes
