how you know your soul is in trouble:

1. you look forward to going to the bathroom to be alone, take off your mask & cry quietly

2. being in the 21st grade and knowing absolutely nothing about happiness

3. being so immersed in your prision you stop noticing what makes your heart sing, or, if you do notice the pang of longing you quickly recruit intellect to crush the rebellion

4. wanting patients to not show up. not have so many problems. finish your bare-bone note & get the hell out.

5. ...having so many first world problems to complain about...

  2. Once, Neeta was worried about "selling out."

    I said, "Ah, your moral sense is alive and well."

    She said, "What do you mean?"

    I replied, "You'd be in danger if you were oblivious to selling out."
