I am young. And I do not know everything. I aspire to always be young and to always remember that I do not know everything. I have been depersonalizing for years. It is hard to remember when it started. I think this is because a part of me wonders what I could have done then to stop it, to warn myself, to tell myself that I would be given something that I don't understand. I am no better or worse than you in any way. Just different.

I constantly attempt to connect to the world. And to other people. And there are a list of things that helps. Nothing cures. But, things help. Like, laughing. Or a chord that, well, strikes a chord.
