"I don't understand anything."

"Maybe I'm not supposed to be happy."

"I'm trying to be the kind of person Leslie would respect."

"Nothing ever works out for me."

"But somehow, it always does."

"I've accepted my mediocrity."

"Or have I?"

"I think that went pretty well, actually."

"Why do I always assume the worst?"

"Because it usually happens."

"People are basically selfish and awful."

"But I'm still going to try to be good."

"I don't understand why anyone would like me."

"But apparently, some people do."

"That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me."

"I think I might actually be okay."

"Or I'll fail spectacularly."

"I've come to terms with my failures."

"Mostly."

"Work has always been my escape."

"Even when it's terrible."

"Especially then."

"I think there's still hope for me."

"A little, anyway."

"You know what? I'm going to try harder."

"What do I have to lose?"

"Actually, don't answer that."

"I've learned that everyone's struggling."

"So we might as well struggle together."

"I appreciate that you'd want to know how I'm doing."
