Booting up the Playstation at night in the dark of my room as a child. The bright light of the box and the OG Playstation chime. I was safe in the digital world.
One day, back in high school, I spent the entire day trying to correct a cascade of wrongs caused by idiot kids from school. Without getting into much details, I ran around gathering information on what happened, and tried to stop more idiotic things from happening because high school kids are stupid and immature. At the end of the day, I felt like all my effort amounted to nothing. I felt like for the first time I saw how cruel, shallow, and cheap people really were. I experienced wrong decisions made by everyone that day, from student to faculty. I found myself staring out at the assembly area after school, trying to process everything that just happened. What the fuck was wrong with these people, I wondered. It felt like I was the only one in the whole school who was sane. Out of nowhere, I felt a hand on my shoulder. One of my teachers (who didn't like me nor I him) told me he saw what I was doing that day and thanked me. I teared up right there. We both earned each other's respect that day.
Not necessarily happy memories. I have so few. But these are meaningful memories to me.

I don't have a lot of happy memories, but I can tell you about one that happened earlier this year.. At the beginning of the year, I met a girl on SaSu who, after many calls and messages, became one of my closest friends. We don't talk as much anymore, since she's busy with her boyfriend and family, but I still like to think about all the moments we shared and how beautiful it is to open up to others.
For someone like me, who deals with social anxiety, I had never really thought about how important it is to open up to people and how great it feels to actually try and make friends, even if it's just online. And if you're reading this, I encourage you to do the same. You can always ask for my Discord or check out the "Recovery Partners" thread. You never know who might change your life. :)

I can't forget about a birthday. it should have been on the 8th or 9th I don't remember exactl.y it was the only birthday of mine when many people came. overall it went well I got gifts we played Minecraft and soccer even though I don't usually play well but on that day I can recall playing decently. so yeah I remember feeling happy that day. And honestly i couldn't care less about it since happines is not a positive state its just less of a negative state.
