I keep reminding myself, that mental illness goes along with greatness. Hemingway. Sylvia Plath. Billie Holiday. Dickens. Melville. These are just a few of the great minds that suffered from a fine madness. Should they have been medicated into mediocrity? Or lived in mediocrity because they were not properly medicated or in proper treatment? All of these individuals: exceptional human beings. Note: Do you want to be exceptional? Or exceptionally dead.

A Suicide Note//A Note On Suicide
