thinking about Thirteen post 5.20 needing to talk to someone about Kutner's death but not wanting to do so with a counselor because they're a stranger, they didn't know Kutner and they don't know her, and she's kind of sick of seeing counselors at this point in her life. and House and Taub and Foreman are all shutting her out and dealing with it alone and forcing her to do the same. and she realizes that the person she wants to talk to about Kutner's death is Kutner and the conscious realization that she'll never talk to him again hits her like a truck
Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people
I don’t know which author needs to hear this right now but even if you never update your wip i would never regret reading it a time of joy is never wasted
Peeta Mellark is the type of person to follow a grieving girl to her broken home and plant a garden. But people forget Katniss is also the type to sing a lullaby to a dying girl and lay her in a bed of flowers. Despite being subjected to the cruellest games, they’re two kids who continue to be kind and choose love. Not everyone could find light and love atop a graveyard in a meadow, and that is why Katniss and Peeta have always deserved each other.
The brain is an organ. Mental illnesses are illnesses of that organ. Brain scans show that there is a physical difference between a healthy brain and a sick brain. Telling someone “You’re not really sick. It’s all in your head.” is like telling someone with asthma “It’s not real, it’s all in your lungs.” The brain is an organ that can malfunction as much as any other organ.
