Read enough to know it's written in a voice that annoys me.

This broke me. Some of my favorite quotes:
"They say nothing lasts forever but they are just scared it will last longer than they can love it.[...] The truth is I'm worried they will get us before they get us."
"They say addiction might be linked to bipolar disorder. It's the chemicals in our brains, they say. I got the wrong chemicals, Ma. Or rather, I don't get enough of one or another. They have a pill for it. They have an industry. They make millions. Did you know people get rich off of sadness? I want to meet the millionaires of American sadness. I want to look him in the eye, shake his hand, and say, "It's been an honor to serve my country.""
Beautiful and heartbreaking.
