Cue "Graduation (Friends Forever)" by Vitamin C for all my fellow fans of sick late-90s jams out there. As we go on, we remember...
The words of that airy song had been floating through my head on a loop for several hours now, like clouds sleepily drifting through the sky with no certain destination. And while we're on the subject of the classics, I can't forget to mention the lyrically immaculate "Graduate" by Third Eye Blind occupying my headspace approximately eighty-five percent of the time these days. Can I graduate?!
I suppose music has always been my top coping mechanism. To be fair, it would really have to be a draw between music, and books—both of which have, for years, allowed me the opportunity to bury my head and happily escape my own reality; to create a world for myself where no one can find me.
Oh, how I wish that were the case right now. Invisibility... what a superpower.
After the unceremonious events of yesterday evening, my brain felt like it was melting—disintegrating into goo as the hours dragged on—surely, it would be nothing short of a medical marvel if I survived this catastrophe in one piece.
I wish I lived in that fantasy, fairytale world, right at this very moment. A world far more fair, and just, and kind than the one we live in. Ha. I don't sound bitter at all... I mused with myself internally, my thoughts juggling through my mind like a circus act for the better part of the last eighteen excruciating hours.
