Chapter 1
This movie is kind of boring. I tell my boyfriend, Kylan.
He looks at me with a subtle grin. Boring? This movie is nowhere near boring.
I casually rolled my eyes at him; the movie was some weird romance movie with the main characters having big age gaps.
I squinted at the mid-bright TV screen. I yawned and leaned in closer to my boyfriend. I looked up at him.
Kylan was so kind and calm; nothing really ever truly bothers him unless it’s something really bad, which I guess I’m quite the same as well, but I’m also very sensitive, which I do not like at all.
I try to regulate my emotions, but then when I see something that triggers me, I just spiral back into where I started and get overwhelmed and can’t think straight.
Maybe I’m just meant to be sensitive, or could I be mentally ill?
I’m not sure.
Kylan rubs me on my back as soon as I’m starting to fall asleep. I’m so tired my head is pounding I thought.
