i think this is all a response to the grief she’s experiencing. She always references them, and seems to be jealous of other people who’ve lived different experiences.

gosh, she is so tortured and numb. And I feel so bad for Reva. All she needs is somebody to support her and our main character is literally incapable of doing it because of all of the numbness she feels.

I am consistently starting to feel even worse for her best friend can you even call her best friend because our narrator treats her so badly but the narrator is so deeply flawed and has such a terrible therapist. Everyone is working against her and no one is here to help her and she can’t help herself because she’s incapable of it.

The plan on sleeping is going great but the side effects of all the pills she is taking is starting to show. I feel bad for her friend because it seems like she cares about her but all our narrator can think about is how pitiful her life is and how she just wants to sleep it all away, but I feel like she forgets that she’s still gonna have to deal with this when she wakes up and she will have to wake up.

she is so miserable. It is so relatable. I used to sleep all day and all night just to get past the days because life would feel so boring and the way she speaks feels like the way my brain speaks. and I don’t think she’s said her name which kind of just speaks to how much she doesn’t feel like a real person.
