Sometimes I brag about my intelligence like it was something I earned. I'm only a teenager; I'm still ignorant. Everyone's born ignorant. Stupidity is a silly thing to hate. It's like cognitive racism.

I've been lazy since school started.

Sometimes I ignore my problems. Sometimes I forget them. But they always weasel into parts of my life I don't want them in. But that's my fault, hmm?

Why are mentally healthy and well-adjusted people portrayed as squares and conformists? The protagonist is so often an insecure child while the antagonists are confident and self-assured. Why? Self-pity is narcissism disguised as depth.

School's looking to be tough. But this year is looking to be a good one.
