“When your mind wants to bolt, but your heart hangs on, it is because you don’t know with absolute certainty what the truth is. When you waste so much time on something that you want to believe is true, you begin to overthink things. Eventually, something obvious becomes twisted into something absurd, which keeps us from believing a simpler answer. Over time, you believe your own lies and fantasies to shield yourself from hurt, when following what is logical would have been the quickest way to healing. It is through your own self-imposed delusions that you lose your perspective. The world then becomes different to you when in fact you are different. Why? Because your own ego gets in the way. Everyone wants to feel special. Everyone wants to have faith in others. Everyone wants to believe in fairytales, happy endings and have all bad interactions with others explained. It is easier to sit in denial with your delusions and pray God will intervene, not realizing he has. He gave you commonsense and intuition, but you didn’t like how it made you feel. This is what true mental illness really is: Following your gut instinct through hell because you want to prove you are right, either to yourself or others. You sacrifice choosing to do right, in order to avoid pain. However, you don't realize that you have been in pain for a really long time and believed this was how happiness felt.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“الفشل مُعدٍ تماما كالنجاح، والسعادة مُعدية تماما كالكآبة، وحتى الجمال مُعدٍ. إن رجلا جميلا وأنيقا ينقل لك عدواه ويُجبرك على أن تضاهيه أناقة حتى لا تخسرينه، وألا تهملي مظهرك حتى لا تُبدين غير أهل له. لذا عليك قبل أن تُقبلي على حب رجل أن تدركي العيوب التي ستنتقل إليك بعد الآن بحكم العدوى.”
― أحلام مستغانمي, الأسود يليق بك

“الفرح ثرثار .
أمّا الحزن فــ لا تستطيع أن تقيم معه حواراً .
إنه منغلق على نفسه كـــ محار .
بل .. في إمكانك إغاظة الحزن بــ الفرح.
تكلّم و لو مع ورقة .”
― أحلام مستغانمي

“كنت أحبّك..
وكنت حزينة ككل بداية سنة
تمنيت لو انتميت إليك
كان عمري عشرين سنة
خفت ألا أنتمي لشيء بعدك
كنت تمثل عندي قمة الرفض والثورة، وكان يمكن أن تكون بداية شيء
رائع في حياتي”
― أحلام مستغانمي, الكتابة في لحظة عري

“In psychiatry there is a certain condition known as delusion of reprieve. The condemned man, immediately before his execution, gets the illusion that he might be reprieved at the very last minute. No one could yet grasp the fact that everything would be taken away. all we possessed, literally, was our naked existence.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“A man who for years had thought he had reached the absolute limit of all possible suffering now found that suffering had no limits, and that he could suffer still more, and more intensely.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
