Little aches all over the body
I haven’t been here a week and I already want to go back.
I’m sorry. It all just looks so bleak. I came down with something hard (a fancy way of saying I have the flu) and it’s just been killing me all day long. And now, past midnight, I finally feel awake. Not gonna get better anytime soon, if I keep this up.
On Wednesday night, at the Manifest04 (finally remembered the name of the magazine) launch party, I saw an old friend that I met in my first year in high school.
“It’s nice to see you’re not so full of self-love any more,” she said.
“Oh? I wasn’t aware that I had been full of self-love. But if there’s been some improvement, I’m glad you noticed,” I said. “Though, honestly, I have no idea where it would have gone.”
I took her comment, one of the first things she said to me, as a compliment, though perhaps I shouldn’t have. And I really did mean that last part. I would’ve imagined I’d only gotten worse.
