Tonight I had a short period of normalcy. I felt like myself. I felt what life would feel like if I wasn't so empty, lonely, insecure, pride-less and uncertain. I was able to picture what kind of high school I could have had. I was able to picture so much.
I must never forget nights like these.

A life of energy and excitement, teenage thrills, memories and strong friendships. On nights like these, I can taste just a small piece of that type of life, and I love it. That's the life I always wanted to have.

And this is why I became this way, because my life deviated so far from what felt right, real, alive.
