Resumo

It is a curse, this schizophrenia, because it has me asking questions, it has me off balance, it has me questioning the very basics of the basics every 15 minutes, over and over, and over again. I can never get anywhere; never make any progress past the basic questions. It looks like I am wasting time on purpose, like I’m avoiding growing up or avoiding responsibility. I would love to be able to work like a regular person. I love to be busy. I love to feel useful. I would love to have a dinner celebration in my name, a party to tout all my accomplishments, to celebrate me, and my person. I don’t ever get to have this. I don’t get celebrated or applauded because I have nothing to show for all my daily hard work. It is horrible to feel this unappreciated, this uncelebrated.
