Lately my skin has been either too tight or too loose, like a shirt passed down from a dead relative. It’s as if I’m a caricature of my former self, superficially going through the motions but completely lacking the insight. There are many reasons for this, I suppose-each one being so usual and lackluster that I won’t even waste my time typing them. It’s just atypical of me to feel so down about things; since I almost always have something to be sad about, I tend to ignore it. Why haven’t I been able to do that recently?
As of right now, I’m optimistic about the future, depressed by the past, terrified of the present.
