I always managed to get lost in my mind one way or another as I thought or as I wrote. I was such a mysterious teenager with such a complex life. The more that I thought the more I wrote and pressed my pen harder onto the paper in the journal. Writing was my  only way to not get corrupted into the oblivion of my maze like mind. As I finished up my last sentence my mom called me downstairs.
"Lach you're to be late to therapy if you don't hurry up." I swiftly picked up my leather journal grasping it in my hands as I swung my jacket on and ran downstairs. When I got downstairs my dog Plato waited for me wagging his tail in delight to see Me . I petted Plato and cooed at him
"Who's a good boy? You are Plato. Yes you are." As I cooed at Plato he wagged his tail in delight to his owner.
"Hurry up Lachlan I already have to miss a lot of work to bring you", my mom said to me.
"Okay mom I'm coming" I swiftly walked down the hall and closed the door behind me. My mom was waiting in the car for me as I walked down the sidewalk to go meet her in the car. I opened the door and got in the car.
I took out my  phone to play music. I scrolled through my playlist and played some acoustic. I started to zone out as I passed trees and houses on my ride to therapy. I hummed quietly to myself as my thoughts danced through my mind. They danced to the rhythm of the song like swans in a lake. I kept pondering about what I  wrote about if it was safe to share with my therapist. All my past ones were not the best and didn't exactly support me. I truly believes this new one, Ms. Ashley is perfect and will help me. It was my idea to find a  therapist and I search everywhere for someone like her. Soon enough I  arrived. My mom dropped me off and I  quickly walked inside and went in the elevator to the third floor. I walked in the waiting area and sat and waited for Ms. Ashley, my therapist.

Around five minutes later she told me I can come back. I opened the door and followed her to her room down the hallway. I walked into Ms. Ashley's room and the session began.
