sometimes i still feel like i can't breathe, like something's reached in and given everything in my chest cavity an almighty squeeze.

then i force in a breath, and remember that this anxiety is only happening because i'm a selfish person, and that if i think about it, this is what i truly want. for everyone.

i just wish i could share the joy. or the pain. or the laughter, if any. but that's just me being selfish again.

so here's a virtual squeeze! and a virtual i'm happy that you are! because deep down i really am.
