“You think relationships are difficult? Try friendships. Try courting someone in order to convince them to join you in some nameless, shapeless Platonic complication — forever. Convince an adult stranger that you are worth a healthy slice of their limited time and energy without the prize of sex or romance.”
—Laura Jayne Martin (via humblebees)
“How did we become neurochemical selves? How did we come to think about our sadness as a condition called ‘depression’ caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and amenable to treatment by drugs that would ‘rebalance’ these chemicals? How did we come to experience our worries at home and at work as ‘generalized anxiety disorder’ also caused by a chemical imbalance which can be corrected by drugs?”
Interesting.
