You perpetually have a cold. Except, no one knows that you have a cold, so everyone thinks this is just who you are.

And, you’re not going to die from it. It’s not cancer or anything. You just don’t feel good. You don’t feel like yourself. You just feel tired. You don’t feel like doing anything.

And, you’re taking DayQuil, but it doesn’t do anything.

And you just want to let your body rest so it can get over this cold. But you know that you’ll never get over the cold, so there’s no point in resting. And you couldn’t fall asleep anyway.

And there’s no one there to take your temperature by kissing your forehead or bring you soup. So, you have to bring your own hand up to your forehead but you think you’re probably just biased because it just always feels hot to you, so how would you even be able to tell the difference? And you don’t feel like you can cook right now.
