 i would burst out laughing 
in the middle of class.

I was loud and outgoing,
messy 
and funny
and happy.

But somewhere along the line I lost it. \
the freedom 
the innocence.

SOMETIMES I IMAGINE MY YOUNGER SELF 
AND I WORRY SHE WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE ME.  (29)]]> 2023-03-13 04:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2513777396 therehastobesomethingmore 1265507449 https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2513783874 (right?)

We all seem to have our minds knotted.
a bed head of the brain. 
and with ribbons of dark matter 
braided into our thoughts, 
we will never be able to comb out all the tangles. ]]> 2023-03-13 04:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2513797984 70 (2) 1265507449 https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2514473489


Once I was in the driver's seat, face-to-face with another person, nothing about it was familiar. I had to learn all the different gears the emergency brake, the rearview mirror. I sped through reds I didnt even see, stopped short at yellows, stalled at greens : my steering was wobbly and timid, living scared of everyone else on the road. ]]> 2023-03-13 13:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2514473489 making my own life feel alien to me 1265507449 https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2514481735

A journal is not a friend
or a hotline
or a therapy session

So for now 
I just inhale,

and wait. ]]> 2023-03-13 14:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2514493789 (145) (3) 1265507449 https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2514500468 Suddenly I feel like
the light switch
has flipped off. 

and suddenly I feel like
I am not better because 
of my hard work.

and suddenly I feel like
a fraud. 

I try to remind myself 
that the brain is an organ,

so i swallow my pride
and let myself 
get better. ]]> 2023-03-13 14:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2514500468 Have you ever held your life in your own two hands? 1265507449 https://padlet.com/1265507449/yrbmar4mcy7lqsvq/wish/2514503571
