where I sound full of myself.

People amaze me sometimes. The past 2 days have been almost a revelatory experience for me in that I've realised that I actually mean something to more people than I would imagine. I still can't reconcile the person they talk about so sweetly with the person I percieve myself to be. But I'm trying. I'm consciously trying not to refute compliments and instead, revel in their soft, squishy glow.

Saurabh's text messages made me very happy. What else can I say? He said he was glad I existed and that I was the only person who made it okay to be part of our generation. People don't say things like that unless they mean it. They just don't do that. All of it has just left me with this feeling of...disbelief and awe and speechlessness. I don't understand; I don't claim to. But it still flatters me in the greatest possible way.

History midterm in an hour. I need all the luck I can get.
