““Previously, I had always found joy in doing stupid things like bashing someone’s mailbox with a baseball bat, or throwing eggs at nerds, or making fun of losers. We thought that we were being rebellious, but most kids do stupid stuff like that. We’re all trying to make a name for ourselves and stand out. It wasn’t rebellious at all; self-absorption and self-advocacy were the norm. What I was doing now was true rebellion, truly unique, and meaningful in every way.””
