Is that a girl or a boy? And you smile because today maybe you might just pass. But then you see their eyes register no facial hair, no knot in your throat, no bulge in your pants. They say it again, louder, tauntingly.
Is that a girl or a boy. This time they know the answer and they just want to see you squirm.
And you do.
And they snicker.

When people quote The Perks of Being A Wallflower, why do they quote things like “And in that moment, I swear we were infinite,” or “We accept the love we think we deserve,” when there are gems like this.
When I’m struggling to sleep, I put my headphones in and listen to sad songs, think of painful things until I cry. My eyes get tired, I feel drained, and I sleep. The next morning, I realise how much better I am now compared to the night before. I’ve also done work at night, when I’m wide awake, keeps me busy and I’m in tranquility - for once. If feeling empty doesn’t happen all the time, you need to think of the times you wern’t, or dance. Dancing is great for raising dopamine levels to get you on more of a high, so my suggestion again is put your headphones in, turn the volume up and forget life. You need to plan for things to look forward to, maybe a really cool thing to look forward to every month, take slow steps, breathe, laugh, cry, and live.
