I'd like to talk to them, be friends with them, as usual. But the first thing I need to do is to get rid of my fear, my worries, my nightmare. I need to talk to others about what really happened at that party. Perhaps, Heather got her point, I might just need a little help from the professional, then I will be alright. I dunno.

Or maybe it is not my fault. It is just because of the stupid world. All those stupid social standards. they are the facts stop development of human civilization.

I will make myself normal. Because I am a girl who is so depressed, Heather who is my only friend has left me already. I know that only way to do is speaking out. If I do that, I will have a friend as a normal person. But it is not easy to make myself normal, because many people have some prejudice about me already, and I also feel shame about that terrible memory. However, in order to be a normal person, I will try my best.
