as i read Jane Eyre again

i reach the part where mental illness is referenced as ¡lunacy! ¡depravity ¡madness! Brontë's writing consumes me, but in doing so soothes, for no longer is mental illness defined as lunacy, depravity, madness.

Pasaje

She had a good walk-in meeting with the man that replaced her in her previous endeavours. They talked like the old "more-than-co-workers" they were. It is always so hard to say a co-worker is your friend, or a friend is a friend because a spouse is friends with the spouse, or any other hybrid situation. What is the real-life definition of "friend" anyway?

Putting aside this ADD-induced dissertation, the subject bounced back and forth the changes that had occurred since she last left her position. It seemed ironic that, with this latest change in the winds, she would end up in the same position he had been--their roles would be switched.

So how was this relevant? In the context of time passage, these changes acquired a weight she would have not given them otherwise. Strange how the passage of seconds, she relents, many seconds, changed her perspective, biological and otherwise. Strange how one morning she would wake up in the brightest of dispositions, and face the day the greatest desire, and mere seconds (relatively) later darkness would rise.

Second passage, heart beat, breath taken, blink, all taking her closer to her death.

She knew she should have not upset her chemical balance. "Too much, too soon."
