I traveled back in time, and I'm feeling like a kid again—kid as in, like, 15 years old. Back to the time when I listened to SoundCloud as I played Roblox alone. A beautiful summer sunset. The warm darkness of dusk, which comforts me like no other. I felt a wave of joy and peace quickly flow throughout my body. It's just like when you get sick and feel those full-body chills. Although I'm not sick at all, I feel healed.

I wonder how long this comfort will last. My episodes don't last that long.

But for now, I am happy—and that's all that truly matters.
