Confession

I have a confession. I talk to myself, a lot. I talk about a certain situations; from how I got detention in class to why did I ignore that cute boy who clearly had a thing for me. (No he didn't.)

Not even mentioning how many times I feel weird about myself when I do it. Like once Had this camera that was small and I'd always take it around with me because I loved taking pictures with it. So I lost it on my last day of school in fourth grade and I was so mad at myself. The hard part was that I had to tell my mom about it. So on my way home, I kept practicing what would I tell my mom, and I already had my crying face ready so I looked weird. Then, my neighbors' daughter saw me talking to myself with the crying face. She looked at me like I was a psychopath . Trying to get over the embarrassment, I just kept singing to make it seem like I wasn't talking to myself. It happened a long time ago, but I bet the girl still thinks I'm crazy.

My point is, if you do the same thing as me and you eventually ask yourself "Am I normal?" or my personal favorite "Can someone actually notice me talking to myself then they're going to take me and lock me alone in a cell with medications that won't help?!" Well no, you are completely fine. (I think..) Just think of it as you're talking to your therapist and telling him about your day. (Great now I'm making you imagine things too.)

To be honest, as much as I was embarrassed to tell people that I talk to myself, I slowly realized that it was a blessing to have something to talk about, or to think about. Just knowing that you have something to say makes you even more sane than ever. It makes you think, think of all the situations that happened or all the stories in your head that'll probably never happen. So go, talk all you want, let it all out, just make sure what you are talking about is worthy of your time.
