Your feelings were always a five-act tragedy waiting to happen.
You were literally the most dramatic person in all of human history. William Shakespeare didn't just write about heartbreak, betrayal, and existential crisis. He made an entire career out of it, and honestly? That tracks for you completely.
You have a flair for the theatrical, a gift for saying something cutting in the most poetic way possible, and a habit of making every minor inconvenience into material. Someone takes the last parking spot? A five-act revenge plot begins forming immediately. A friend doesn't text back? Suddenly you're monologuing about loyalty and the passage of time. You don't experience small problems. You experience small problems with an audience.
Your past self coined over 1,700 words still used in English today, including "lonely," "generous," and "obscene," which is a characteristically Shakespearean combination. He also wrote Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear, basically a complete catalog of ways ambition can go catastrophically wrong, while remaining extremely confident in his own genius throughout. That's not hypocrisy. That's commitment to a bit.
The slightly uncomfortable part is that Shakespeare was probably insufferable at parties. Brilliant, magnetic, and just a little too aware of it. People adored him and found him exhausting in equal measure, which, again, feels familiar. Some past lives are a fun little surprise. This one is just a mirror.
