Remember To Breathe

Stop it.

I'm not doing anything, there's no need to stop what I'm not doing.

Today is like any other day.

No, today is a new day. Every day is different. New things happen every day, how in the world can they ever be the same?

Just relax.

I am relaxed, I'm perfectly fine; I'm perfectly normal.

This is what I told myself, this is what I believed. They were lies, though. But if I believed it, it was true in my mind. All I needed to do was relax.

If that was possible.

Today wasn't like any other day. Everything was different now, nothing would ever be the same. I was a different person in their eyes. Why did I care so much, now? I had never cared what they thought before. I had always been a different person. They never bothered to notice me, so I never bothered to be noticed. I never cared at all. So why did it matter so much to me now? I didn't even need to ask myself this. I knew why I cared so much. I never used to care because I never believed them. However, this time was different. They were right, for once.

In no way was I normal.

I was completely different now, and nothing would ever be the same.
