"when im away
from you
im happier than ever
wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasnt true..."
- billie eilish, happier than ever

I wish I could explain what was traumatic about it,
but I can't.

"But english is your favorite subject",
my dad said

"But you ended up having a good grade, it couldn't have been that bad",
my mom said

"well it didn't go great, but its not your only experience with stereotypes, so just pick something less mad ",
my friend said when I complained to my history teacher that writing about your own experiences with stereotypes might be triggering

the thing is
I myself wish it wasnt true
but I cant change it now

and while I read and write in english nowadays
I still wish I didn't have to read a novel in english class ever again
when I'm away from old memories and teachers who knew me back then
I'm happier than ever
