“What the fuck is that?”

“No, you’re shitting me.”

I took another swallow.
Gulped another glass of water.

A lump in my throat, pulsating and crying out as I continued to investigate. Probing my throat, sniffling up and down, breathing deeply.

Everyone on the subway looked at me as if I was some clown. They gawked and snickered away, hiding their laughs.

But I didn’t care.
I didn’t care at all.
I was livid.

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?”

“IM GETTING SICK RIGHT BEFORE I GO HOME? RIGHT BEFORE I GO TO DIWALI?”

“THIS SHIT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME!”
“GOD FUCKING DAMNITTTTTTT”

My heart rate quickened as sweat formed above my brow and hand clenched into a fist. Another god damn sore throat.

“FUUUUUUUUUUUCK.”

Then I stopped.

Stoped myself from digging myself further into that pit of self-pity.

“Armaan.”
“ARMAAN.”
“ARMAAN ARE YOU GOING TO LET A STUPID FUCKING SORE THROAT REALLY ANNOY YOU THIS MUCH?”

I laughed. Everyone in the subway looked at me like a fucking psycho. That’s okay. I am lowkey.

“armaan, it’s just a sore throat. cmon. it’s no big deal. it happens. oh well. get some dayquil, drink some tea, take a covid test, and go forward.”

And that’s exactly what I did.

And in that moment, I realized something.

You’re going to be sick.

You’re going to get ill and have the sniffles and maybe break an arm and you’ll even have to shit through a bag one day.

But you can either be sick and angry and curse the world.
Or you can be sick, smile, and not ruin your attitude.

Fuck that.
