The Acid Diaries (Christopher Gray) / quote 58 of 125
Overcompensation had made me a fool
All my life I had flaunted being a public school dropout, but now I saw that there was part of me that had wanted to go to university and to have lived a successful academic life. It was as though I had to think all the things about my life I had never allowed myself to think before. What made me so angry was that the overcompensation had meant I could never see myself objectively. Imperceptibly, life had maneuvered me into stupidity. That was what really pissed me off. I had been forced to be a fool.
