Pink Is My Brain

“Lying in its bony shell and washed by protective fluid, the brain is the source of all the qualities that define our humanity. The brain is the crown jewel of the human body.” - National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

“There is an immobility to my mental health. I have an innate drive to get better. Constantly sick, never healthy enough. This feeling that maybe being sick releases these things trapped in my subconscious. I am met with this third-party feeling that I cannot function like this. And in order to function, I lose some of these desires. And then I feel myself becoming sicker to help them grow, and this innate drive to get healthy kicks back into gear, and I feel like I’ve barely moved an inch.”
