Every Brilliant Thing

Because in order to live in the present we have to be able to imagine a future that will be better than the past.

That horrible feeling when something is broken and can’t ever be fixed

Because then there would be no mystery, no curiosity, no creativity, no conversation, no discovery. Nothing would be new and we’d have no need to use our imaginations and our imaginations are what make life bearable.

I have some advice for anyone who has been contemplating suicide. It’s really simple advice. It’s this:
Don’t do it.
Things get better.
They might not always get brilliant.
The NARRATOR indicates SAM.
But they get better.

That horrible feeling when something is broken and can’t ever be fixed. The trapdoor swinging open. Fight or flight or stay as still as you can.
