Scene 1: The Mask
Past Me: I made this! Present Me: Neat! What is… Oh. Past: It’s a mask. When I screw up real bad, I can put this on and be “the kid that screws up.” And the kid that screws up is okay with screwing up. Heck, they might even become good at it! Present: Yeah… They…

My Awareness: Scrolling Mastodon again, I see. Me: Oh hey Awareness. Yup, checking the timeline. Awareness: Anything good?
