Why Is It ...

… that my mind alternates between two possible choices of attitude, one being in a constant state of panic while overthinking and worrying about every little detail, and the other being “Whatever.”

… that there are times when I act like people never happened; Who? Who are you?

… that HR told me I am not allowed to call my co-workers “foreskin” even when I explained that they disappear when things get hard.

… that all of the sudden I need to use my phone to take pictures of instructions so I can enlarge them and read them.

… that when people meet me for the first time, they tell me that I’m so quiet, when what’s really happening is I’m reading them and need a minute.

… that sometimes I have to play the role of the fool to fool the fool who thinks they’re fooling me.

… that seeing people walk out of my life is really painful; I mean, I really want them to run.

… that once I hear the Purge Siren I know exactly who I’m going after.
