I wondered why I wasn't happy. I knew it had something to do with school and the new friends I'd hadn't made. In high school, I would be voted "hardest to understand", or "punniest", but nothing special. My life was just a sequence of sadness and anger with a pinch of sweet mixed in. I used sugar to cope when it didn't help with how I looked at myself in the mirror. I was lonely and socially awkward. In this harsh world, I was just a grain of sand on the beach. One of the infinite grains of sand.
Not desirable. Not wanted. Just like everyone else. And it was worse because that's actually what I was the most scared of.
Everything I wish wouldn't have happened, happened.
