       I am so thrilled to be in my new town! I am so happy that I won't have to be in that frumpy and old apartment building I was forced to live in for 7 years in Chicago. Now its just a nice, cozy cottage in Oregon, away from the loud cars and construction work. The most noise I probably hear is my little sister, Rortha, who is 5 and always likes to bang her small fists on my door. Always asking me to play video games with her or play hide-and-seek. But my hands always numb all the way up to the tips of my fingers and I freeze and I then become unable to open the frightening door. I don't know why, but I am always afraid of talking to people, even my own parents who birthed me. I feel like an animal who isn't tamed, I feel scared to do much action and I really do desire to fall past this in the next chapter of my life. Hopefully my hands will be able to write every single detail about it.
