Really makes you think! My friends have also noticed how I’ve changed! Although, some have begun to look at me strangely. Almost with jealousy… Anyway! I’ll update you all again soon!

Dear readers, after re-visiting the 1966 novel, “Flowers for Algernon” by author Daniel Keyes - I’ve come to a startling realization. I think I’m being Flowers for Algernon-ed. This all began on Saturday night, spent hanging out with friends. My companions, you see, are intellectuals - the political type. This was a point of contention for us, as they had expressed displeasure in my previously air-headed and jaded behaviour.
Until recently, I didn’t care much for politics. But, something has taken over me and I can’t help but feel as though I’ve been missing out. The timing of the consumption of the trial medication my friends offered me, and these progressions are no coincidence. Really weird stuff.

Readers, I fear I have made friends with fetid moppets. Who together waste hours, if not days, stuck in discussion and inaction. Arguing the morality of war in another nation, over bottomless-brunch where they tip ten percent on their bill.
Not to mention how fallible most of their arguments tend to be, regardless of their faux pas as diners. Such Westernized and Eurocentric solutions to genocides and injustices that cannot be solved overnight, or even over a decade.
However, I digress. Because with each moment of clarity, readers, I also seem to find myself slipping. Slipping back into the hapless and hollow nothingness of external validation through documenting my mundane, yet unattainable life.
Knowing what I know now… I cannot allow myself to go back. I will, as always, keep you all updated.
