I wasn’t always crazy, but I was never sane.
I learned this the hard way, of course, and as with all the best lessons, I
understood it too late to heed it. What should I have done? Could I have
changed things? The questions don’t so much swirl around my mind as circle
the drain of my sanity. Which leads to another question: would knowing what I
know now have helped me at the beginning?
Maybe by the end you’ll be able to answer that.

You better hope you can.
I’m no longer scared, which is a rst. I’ve spent my whole life afraid: of the
world, of pain, of fear itself. Fear has been my lifelong companion, the friend I
didn’t want but who never took the hint. In that way, it was my one true friend,
my most loyal friend, yet now even that friend has deserted me.
I can’t say I’m at peace – the mad can never rest – but I’m content as the end
draws near. I’m content because I now understand what I can do. What I should
do. A nal good deed. One for the road, so to speak. This, what you’re reading
now, is that good deed.

You’re welcome.
But let’s not be any more morose than we need to be so early on when there’s
plenty of misery to come. Let’s start with a celebration instead, a party. They’re
fun, right? I’ll tell you about my birthday.
Not the most recent one. I don’t want to overburden you before you’re
ready. Besides, you don’t need to know that I didn’t even notice when the clock
struck midnight, or that I spent the hours that followed lost in my work, in my
research. Too busy to see, too determined to listen. Too focused on trying to stay
alive. So there’s no point starting there.

Stay tuned for more of that fateful day later.
No, I’ll begin by telling you about the last birthday I enjoyed, the last
birthday that meant something. It meant so much in so many ways.
Ready? Here comes the ashback:
Steve said, ‘I don’t expect you to listen to us.’
Jenny said, ‘But you really should.’
I wasn’t listening because my heart was racing as I tried to make sure I had
everything. The holy trinity: money, make-up and medication.

My parents were exchanging looks and gestures. A whole silent language at
work. I could see them out of the corner of my eye as I checked the contents of
my bag. I felt like I was forgetting something but I was so out of practice
socializing, I didn’t really know what I should be taking with me. My rst house
party at eighteen years old.
