you know that feeling when you win an award in a daydream, but it makes you kind of melancholic, because the daydream of winning you had within the daydream of winning was more beautiful than the daydream reality?
and then the runner-up gets so furious at you for not being happy about winning that they grab you by the collar, foamy spit pooling in the corners of their mouth, and you think to yourself: wow, the things my brain needs in order to stay stimulated are eventually going to ruin my life.
