I have no filter. And the sweating! It's totally disgusting. I can't stop myself from saying what's on my mind, but I can still hear myself say the stupid shit that pours from my mouth like vapid diarrhea. Once I realize what I'm saying I get all embarrassed and just start sweating. Why couldn't I be one of those girls who get that cute rosy blush. Nope. I'm a sweater. Face, pits, cleavage sweat. Last week I was at this dinner party talking to some Israeli guy when i realized i was talking about persecuted Palestinians. When I got home there was a big sweaty butt print on the back of my cocktail dress.
It's even worse when i catch myself doing it and try to stop. then I can only think about all the things I could have said that were worse. Like, I was on this date with a really hot guy and I realized I had been talking for twenty minutes about the infection my mom got after her knee surgery. I tried to gracefully segue out of it by finding something related but not as gross, and I ended up talking about the results of my fertility test and how I wanted to have kids with him.
My mom says "Thank goodness you're pretty." But the thing is I'm smart too. I know a lot of interesting things. I'm a nuclear physicist for crying out loud. I just have no filter.

The missing pieces
Every time I wake up a new piece is missing. Sometimes it's a fingernail or a chunk of hair. Sometimes it's a finger or an ear. I have no idea how long I sleep. I rarely dream. I have no idea how many nights I've slept. How long I've been here. I try to keep track, but consciousness fades in and out. When I sleep I don't want to awaken to the nightmare. When I'm awake I don't want to sleep for fear of what will be left of me when I wake. The pain is so constant that i sometimes forget that it's there. Just like I've forgotten my name, or anything outside this room.
