Expectation:
I feel a little bit better today!
Expectation:
I feel a little bit better today!
Expectation:
I feel a little bit better today!
Expectation:
Hey, I think I feel pretty good!
Expectation:
I guess that means I'm normal now! Time to go live a normal life!
---------------------------------
Reality:
I feel terrible.
Reality:
I still feel terrible.
Reality:
Is this seriously "recovery?" This sucks.
Reality:
I don't want to be thinking about all of this shit, this is exhausting.
Reality:
I guess today's not so bad.
Reality:
Today is bad again.
Reality:
Today is bad, but I think I'm starting to understand why.
Reality:
Wow, how long has it been since I cleaned my room?
Reality:
Cleaning my room didn't make me feel any better, but hey, room's clean.
Reality:
Whoa, okay, I need a shower. And maybe a haircut? Definitely a haircut.
Reality:
Everything sucks.
Reality:
Okay, except you.
Reality:
And you too, I didn't mean that you sucked.
Reality:
And that thing that I like is pretty cool.
Reality:
What was I talking about?
Reality:
Oh, THAT'S why my ex broke up with me.
Reality:
Wow, it turns out that was totally my fault?
Reality:
I was the jackass.
Reality:
Holy shit, I am such a jackass.
Reality:
Everybody must hate me.
Reality:
EVERYBODY HATES ME.
Reality:
Okay, how could everybody hate me? I mean, even if I'm a jackass, the Law of Averages dictates that SOMEBODY out there would probably like me anyway.
Reality:
Why would everybody hate me anyway, I'm awesome.
Reality:
...I'm not that awesome.
Reality:
Sometimes I'm pretty awesome, though.
Reality:
OH MY GOD I HATE MYSELF
Reality:
WHAT IS THIS, I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED
Reality:
EVERYTHING SUCKS, THE WORLD SUCKS, I SUCK, NOBODY WILL EVER LOVE ME AND I WILL DIE UNMOURNED AND ALONE
Reality:
...What the hell was that about?
Reality:
Anyway, gonna get stuff done.
Reality:
Gonna get stuff done
Reality:
Getting stuff done
Reality:
WHY DO I FAIL AT EVERYTHING
Reality:
WALLOWING
Reality:
WALLOWING SOME MORE
Reality:
Okay NO MORE WALLOWING, we've talked about this, we're not doing this right now.
Reality:
...I can't believe that worked.
Reality:
Huh.
Reality:
So hang on, is this it?
Reality:
I mean, is this recovery? Am I doing this right? Is it going to be over soon?
Reality:
I just want to be normal.
Reality:
I am such a ridiculous trainwreck of a human being. How do I even exist? Why do I get to have friends? Why do you people talk to me? There's so much about myself that I really don't like, and there's probably even more stuff that I don't even know about that isn't too hot, either. And I'm working on it, but man, it's hard.
Reality:
...I just realized that everything I just said is normal.
Reality:
Oh my God, am I already normal?
Reality:
I'M ALREADY NORMAL. THIS IS NORMAL.
Reality:
It's...not exactly everything I was hoping for, to tell you the truth.
Reality:
...Oh well.
Reality:
Today was okay.
Reality:
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
