i am kind of embarrassed by how long it took me to finish this book, but i really did consider it an admirably honest piece of writing that i have never encountered in this way before. such a deep and emotionally fueled glance into the depths of mental illness, the pains it inflicts on the mind, the prevailing humanity behind everything society tends to stigmatize. despite some lengthy moments, truly one of a kind!
