    Basically I'm bad at writing, so I figure if I write every day I'll improve. And why not document that improvement here, even though it's kinda super embarrassing.

    Summary

    Susie looks at your house and frowns. She looks at you and frowns even harder. “Okay, so,” she says, at length. “I swear I'm not trying to blow up your spot, here. But.” She pauses, squinting her eyes, concentrating like she wishes she could practice saying this next sentence a few times in private before she commits to saying it out loud for real. She takes a deep breath and goes for it anyway. “Are you… okay?"

    Your response comes to you automatically, a lightning-fast impulse. Yes, of course you are. That’s the only acceptable answer, isn’t it? It’s all you can do to look her in the eyes and feed her a lie. Yes, that’s right—another lie, just one of countless others, a big fat mountain of lies that you’d give (almost) anything to not have to tell. But what other choice do you have? You’ve gone this far down the rabbit hole, haven’t you? It’s not like you can just open your mouth and tell her, after all the things you’ve done behind her back, that you’re–

    “No,” you hear, distantly. It takes you a second to recognize who’s saying it. You forget the sound of your own voice, sometimes. “I’m not.”

    Summary

    Its harder to be yourself than it is to be anybody else.

    Thankfully, you don't have to be yourself. Not anymore.

    You have no idea who the SOUL your body is currently housing actually belongs to. But you know that it is not your SOUL. And that, by definition, makes it an improvement.
