Session 08

(Well the next few years were probably the slowest,

most uncomfortable years of my life.

I mean, they tried to make it easy

but they gave up pretty quickly.

And I'm not gonna lie,

I didn't make it easy on them either.

I could just never forgive them.

You know.

But I'm the kinda person who believes everything happens for a reason.

I'm kinda glad that I was so miserable counting down the days till I was 18,

ya know, so I could leave.

Cause the way it worked for me,

it was this one day where I was in the right place

at the right time.

Now I'm not the type of person to just go get what I want.

I usually wait for it to casually come to me.

Something hit me that day like a ton of bricks.

I know it sounds cheesy,

but I fell in love.

And that's what kept me there for the next few years.

I would've run away if it wasn't for her.)

Well it was just the same as any day

I was looking to run far from the school

And I was at the door ready to go

when I heard some books hit the floor

So then I stopped,

jaw dropped,

I said,

this must be love

Cause when I pulled myself together

you were already gone

I screamed wait a minute,

listen to the voice in my head

It said,

kid you better run

cause she's getting away with it

(So I chased after her,

running down the hallways.

Running up to her and grabbed her arm.

Actually just stood there frozen,

didn't know what to say to her.

I think she kinda felt the same thing so it worked out.

I felt like I had a reason to finally be happy,

you know.

She would be the first person in my life who was completely honest with me.

I had a reason to trust.

When I was with her it just felt like my problems with my parents didn't seem to big anymore.

Oh well, I just didn't care about them.)
