    Summary

    I’m not a good person. I know that.
    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not that bad. If I do something super bad, I’ll feel guilty. I don’t do bad things in the first place if it’s convenient for me.
    But my best friend’s a sociopath. I bullied a girl into relapsing. If it’s not a good time for me, I’m probably not going to get help for you, even if you’re screaming for it.
    I keep hearing this voice in my head, though. It keeps telling me to be better. To say I’m sorry to people I screwed over that didn’t deserve it, to drop everything I’m doing to help someone that needs it.
    I kinda envy Nicole. She doesn’t have to keep thinking about how much of an awful person she is. She just lives her life, in a way that makes her— well, not happy, but something adjacent to it.
    Should I try to be a good person? It’ll suck, and I’ll never really be “good”, anyway… but maybe I can just try to be… not terrible?
    …Fuck, this is gay.
