"Having agoraphobia is like being a deep sea diver within an ocean of fear, with a very fragile safety line/oxygen tube stored on your back used to pull you up/keep you alive. Any failure can lead to you being shattered under 10,000 ft of pressure on an expedition. You know that for every step walking on that seabed and looking forward there's another step where the chord just might snap behind you, and its enough to drive you completely insane''.
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
