The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole

I slept fitfully, then got out of bed to watch the dawn break. The world is no longer exciting and colorful.
It is grey and full of heartbreak. I thought of doing myself in, but it’s not really fair on the people you leave behind.
It would upset my mother to come into my room and find my corpse. I shan’t bother doing my O levels.

I’ll be an intellectual road sweeper. I would surprise litter louts by quoting Kafka as they pass by me.
