“Sometimes I wonder if I have really been the same person my whole life. I stare at the picture, and think: Is that really me? I have this bizarre feeling like I was a different person at every other stage of my life. I feel so removed from myself then. Sometimes I feel like I was a different person a month ago. A day. Five minutes. Now.”

“Whenever someone does something nice for me, I feel intensely aware of how strange and sad it is to know someone.”

“I feel simultaneously intensely insignificant and hyperaware of how important everyone is.”
