My Story.

Happy? Sure..

I Guess After Robert Was Sent Away I Was "Okay" For A While. I Continued My Life As A Normal Kid... My Parents Would Go Visit Robert & I Was Sent To Therapy. At Therapy I Would Never Talk.. I Would Let The Other Kids Talk. You Guys Only Know Half The Story Of What Robert Did To Me, But My Therapist & My Parents Knew Everything. I Guess From An Early Age If You Cared About Me Enough To Pay Attention You Would Be Able To Find Out I Wasnt Okay Like I ALWAYS Said I Was.. After School Let Out That Year I Would Have A Normal Summer Like A Normal Kid With A Normal Family. I Played Outside. Ate Popsicles & Ice Cream. Went On Vacation And Visited Grandma. So After A Long "Normal" Summer I Started 1st Grade. At A New School With All New People. I Was Terrified.. My First Public School. I Didnt Want To Talk To Anybody, But This Little Red Head & This Little Blonde Came Up To Me & Asked If I Wanted To Be Friends. These Girls Names Were Jamie (Red Head) & Allie (Blonde). They Were My Best Friends. I Did Everything With These Girls. All Through Out 1st Grade I Made Friends, I Liked Some Boys... I Did Everything A Normal Kid Would. I Guess I Thought This Would Make Me Happy & I Could Shake My Depression Away. It Never Did. I Came Home And That Same Empty Feeling Came To Me. I Started Stress Eating But I Hated The Feeling I Got When I Looked In The Mirror So I Stopped And Ate Normally. Near The End Of First Grade Me And My Parents Got A Letter About Me Being Accepted Into A Gifted Program At A New School. I Would Have To Ride Something Called A Shuttle Bus & I Would Be With Other Gifted Kids. I Hated It Right Away. I Didnt Want To Be Appreciated For Anything. I Went To School The Next Day & I Talked To Jamie & Allie About It, And They Said They Got The Letter Too, And Right Then We All Agreed To Accept It. So I Went Home And Told My Parents I Accepted It. So Up Until The Summer Before 5th Grade I Had A Normal School Year & Normal Summers. Happy Ones.
