My life is a soap opera
OK so you all know pretty much how my mind works...kinda. Now try navigating things in this world that get thrown at you with a mind like that. Some of it is my fault, some of it isn't. When I was little, things seemed so easy...PSYCH things have never been easy for me. when I was 12 years old possibly 13, 14 maybe. well I was young and in middle school. I had this friend I met in 6th grade. She was so nice to me. I felt like she understood me for the most part except for the part of me being a total dork and completely uncool. yeah, I wore corduroy Winnie the pooh overalls and had absolutely NO style whatsoever back then. Anyways, this girl became my best friend. we were together all the time. Then our circle grew a bit. we were all the misfits of the school that had banded together.

Beside you, tiny hands clutch the seams of your pajamas. You snuggle closer and inhale deeply, basking in his aroma as you caress the little hairs on his head. He smiles in his sleep and you watch him dream for a while. Must be nice, you think to yourself. He sighs as you rise out of bed, and gently tuck him back in. You move quietly across the room, being careful to not wake his older siblings. You’re met with the previous night’s clutter as you shut the bedroom door.

I can hear them saying my name, mentioning that I’m still upstairs in my childhood bedroom. I’m frozen solid in the middle of the room. I just can’t bring myself to move a muscle. Many years ago, Dad taught me, “When you notice yourself in a panic, stop, and slowly take two deep breaths.
