“The same teen who can't legally operate a four-wheeler, or [ATV]...in a farm lane workplace environment can operate a jacked-up F-250 pickup on a crowded urban expressway. By denying these [farm work] opportunities to bring value to their own lives and the community around them, we've relegated our young adults to teenage foolishness. Then as a culture we walk around shaking our heads in bewilderment at these young people with retarded maturity. Never in life do people have as much energy as in their teens, and to criminalize leveraging it is certainly one of our nation's greatest resource blunders.”
― Joel Salatin, Folks, This Ain't Normal: A Farmer's Advice for Happier Hens, Healthier People, and a Better World

“Why can’t you just be yourself?” Stella asked once.
“Maybe I don’t know who that is,” her daughter shot back. And Stella understood, she did. That was the thrill of youth, the idea that you could be anyone. That was what had captured her in the charm shop, all those years ago. Then adulthood came, your choices solidifying, and you realize that everything you are had been set in motion years before. The rest was aftermath. So she understood why her daughter was searching for a self, and she even blamed herself for it.”
― Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

“Adults viewed suicidal ideation as a pathology. But for me it was logic. Weighing the bad against the good, projecting forward to decide if life was worth sticking around for.”
― Emi Nietfeld, Acceptance: A Memoir

“My mother thinks I’ve dyed my hair red
for attention—
How can I explain to her the ways that she is
right
and
wrong.
As of last night,
my hair is the color of a brick
the moment before it goes through
a stained-glass
window.
My hair is the color of a fire engine
driving through a burning building.
My hair is the color of a dart frog:
generations of death adapting
into this exact shade of poison.
It’s called aposematism—
we learned about it in bio.
It’s when an animal advertises
to predators that it is not worth
the attempt to consume.
Bright red and orange,
the colors of pain,
I WILL MAKE YOU SICK
I WILL KILL YOU FROM INSIDE YOUR THROAT
ATTENTION!
I MAY LOOK LIKE PREY
BUT I WILL END
YOUR
LIFE
My mother says I want attention
and maybe she’s right
My mother says I am just making a statement
and maybe she’s right
But in my mind it’s not saying
please—
it’s saying
don’t
and this is how I know men
are not really wolves
because maybe
a wolf
would listen.”
― Olivia A. Cole, Dear Medusa

“Having Asperger’s is like having an enhancer plugged into an outlet in our brains. Asperger’s is an accelerator, amplifying the perceptions that we have on the world and the ambiance around us. Like going to the store and buying a device to plug in or install on something in order to make it run faster, Asperger’s will deepen everything’s significance, causing us to take things to a more intense level. Those of us with Asperger’s need to take our time on certain things, which causes us difficulty in accomplishing simple tasks. We learn to diligently persevere and be more prudent and careful.
"Juggling the Issues: Living with Asperger’s Syndrome is an anthology explaining these topics through the eyes of someone with Asperger’s. This is more than a researcher giving an outline of what we face and what we can do. Instead, this is one of those books told by a person who has Asperger’s and has dealt with certain difficulties in order to experience achievements over the past twenty years. I have personally overcome and am still overcoming a lot of the trials that come with having Asperger’s.”
― Matthew Kenslow, Juggling the Issues: Living With Asperger's Syndrome

“Our Prophet ﷺ showed KINDNESS while he was treated with hostility,
He showed LOVE and COMPASSION to everyone, even to his enemy.
Sent by the MOST MERCIFUL to the world as a MERCY,
He is the BEST of creation, the most noble man,
Described by his wife as a WALKING QUR’AN.
Follow his SUNNAH as best as you can...”
― Walead Quhill, Getting to Know Muhammad: a Rhyming Verse Novel, About the Life and Struggles of the Prophet Muhammad, for Teenagers and Young Adults.

“Allah is CLOSER to you than your jugular vein,
He knows your DEEPEST thoughts; he feels your pain.
Any problems, RAISE your hands to Allah and complain,
The most compassionate, the one who LOVES you greatly.
Allah is more MERCIFUL than a mother is to her baby,
HOLD on to the QUR’AN and the SUNNAH tightly.
A guiding LIGHT, shining brightly...”
― Walead Quhill, Getting to Know Muhammad: a Rhyming Verse Novel, About the Life and Struggles of the Prophet Muhammad, for Teenagers and Young Adults.

“Ibland är det svårt att förstå själva poängen när det saker som jag tror är meningsfulla visar sig vara betydelselösa, och de människor som borde älska mig inte gör det.”

“Och tydligen krävdes bara fyra ord för att börja berätta om mammor som dog, pappor som gick sönder och om känslan av att stå ensam och blicka ut på en framtid som borde vara ljus, men som i stället bestod av falnande kol och aska.”
― Callum Bloodworth, Berätta tre saker

“Cian: Where the fuck?

Gabriel: Family centre, somewhere around the top floor if the view is anything to go by.
Gabriel: The why is less obvious.

Elijah: Seriously? It’s clearly a photoshoot. Her father is an Icon with a penchant for aggressive media campaigns. He will see her partly bonded status as an opportunity.

Gabriel: I said it was less obvious, not that it wasn’t still obvious.

Moses: Stop comparing brain size.

Kilian: Yeah, stop waving your big … brains around.”
― Jane Washington, Tourner

“Casper nie lubi, kiedy podczas terapii grupowej używamy słów: "ciąć się, przypalać, dźgać". Tłumaczy, że nieważne, co ktoś robi czy jak to robi. Możesz chlać, ciąć się, brać metę, wciągać kokę, przypalać się, dźgać, chlastać, wyrywać rzęsy, rżnąć się, aż do krwi, ale zawsze chodzi o to samo: samookaleczenie. Tłumaczy, że kiedy ktoś Cię zranił czy sprawił, że czujesz się zła, bezwartościowa, brudna, zamiast racjonalnie dojść do wniosku, że ten ktoś jest palantem czy psycholem i należałoby go zastrzelić bądź powiesić, trzymać się od niego z daleka, to internalizujesz krzywdę, zaczynasz obwiniać siebie i wymierzać sobie karę.”
― Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces

“How do you “start” liking boys? I’ve always thought it was an unsettling idea: Something deep inside you, ticking down, unheard, until one day, ding! You go off like some kind of microwave.”
