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.)
