Suddenly you’re 21 and you’re screaming along in your car to all the songs you used to listen to when you were sad in middle school and everything is different but everything is good

“If someone offered you a pill that would make you permanently happy, you would be well advised to run fast and run far. Emotion is a compass that tells us what to do, and a compass that perpetually stuck on north is worthless.”

like, some stuff ends up bleeding over into normal situations. my father asks why i constantly check the thermometer; i obviously have a fever. but i think i’m faking it still. i tricked the device, although i’ve done nothing to alter it. i’m going to look down at it and read a normal, healthy temperature at any point now.  i keep checking my grades. i always remember my gpa wrong. i always assume it’s about .3 lower than it actually is. i stare at the stable triangle mass of “A”s in a line, shuffling across pages of transcripts and i think: that’s a mistake. the classes were all easy, i think, even though i know many were not. the teachers just liked me. i’m going to fail out of my next degree, just watch me.

there must be some mistake. people like me are just lazy. we’re making excuses. we fake being “type A”. we fake success and survival and sicknesses, because everything at my core is just. fake.

i check the thermometer again. 101 F. there must be some mistake.
