I remember a time when I felt so unlike me. At least unlike this. I don't think I'm meant to be happy. It's just not for me. I remember a time when someone could love me. I had a girlfriend. A lovely one. Then I wake up to finding her dead with her mouth full of puke. I just fucking fuck up every goddamn thing I try. I tried to be happy. I tried to make her happy. I ruined her instead. As always.

I remember when I still felt alive.

We were supposed to run away together. New Zealand. We never got there. "Don't go," she said. Don't go. But she went. Should I go and get her? I wouldn't mind but I'm cold inside. I take a bottle of pills, half empty, from the passenger seat and pour a couple of them on my palm. I throw them in my mouth and wash down with some booze. My escape from reality. I've felt this bad for so long I'm scared I'm fine.
