    Euphoria

    Rue: (teenager, early 20’s)

    I remember when I was eleven years old, it was a couple months after my dad got diagnosed
    and we got the results back from the prognosis, and it was really good. It was like 80/20 and we
    decided to celebrate, so, we ordered a bunch of Chinese food. I remember that night I was
    laying in between my parents in bed, and all of a sudden I could not breath. It was like there was
    no air left in the world. And I was gasping and I was panicking. And they called the ambulance
    and they thought I was like, having an allergic reaction or some shit. And then when I got to the
    hospital, they gave me liquid Valium. Yeah, to calm me down. And when it hit me I thought, this
    is it. This is the feeling I’ve been searching for my entire life. For as long as I can remember,
    because suddenly, the world went quiet. And I felt safe. In my own head… Two years later he
    was gone. Panic attack stayed.. and I found a way to live, so.. Will it eventually kill? Maybe, but
    maybe not, I don’t know… Still gonna be my dealer?
