Even though I was criticized as a child and treated harshly I was still loved. I may not have been treated any harsher than my peers but I was very sensitive to every slight. There was a lot of public humiliation as discipline and I’ve began the process of retraining myself. So I’d like to be able to shine in public instead of hiding and thinking that I’m invisible, I’d like to have a talent, playing the violin, I’d like to have a tight knit group of friends who care for my presence. I’d like to finish University quickly and begin living. I’d like to have a tiny house on a mountain, with a Doberman. Most of all, I’d like to feel a sense of acceptance by my peers, to have people looking upon me as a good person and not some mismatch of gossip they’ve heard about me, to be looked at in a positive light. I’m sure it’ll take some time to reach there. But for the while, pathetic is my adjective. Thank you for listening.
