“Trust me, in these moments - when you decide whether you can take anything else or if you have given up hope on your future, and you’re so upset that you can barely breathe, because everyone you’ve hurt and everything you’ve done wrong is swarming around in your mind - you’re sucked right back into that tornado. You don’t know how big the tornado will be until it’s already here, and you’re spiralling in it, watching it destroy everything around you - except it’s not a tornado. It’s you. You’re the tornado.

And you think everyone would be better off without you.”
