"I don’t want the world to see me,  
'Cause I don’t think they’d understand,

When everything is made to be broken,  
I just want you to know who I am"\*

I figured it out. Of course it was a seizure that caused it. A song came to me.

It was this one:

- _Iris by GooGoo Dolls_

That song hits the perfect 90s angst balance between cheesy and morose. Takes me back to my high school days.

Angst. And seizure activity. Nice combo.

Whenever I have a seizure, I _forget_ who I am. Hasn’t happened too often but when it does, yikes.
