I thought we were past all this
So today was the first day of school. The oh so dreaded, over-contemplated day that arrives with each ending summer. It was terrible. I found myself surrounded by foreigners: people I do not know, people whose minds are so explicitly different than mine, people I could never in this life relate to. I cried in both 1st and 2nd period. It was hard for me to be there and be okay with life. My schedule is effed, too. I screwed up way too much, and way too early.
Some obsure and unidentifable thing happened to me this summer. Being back at school made me realize this. I have grown up. And as I walked up the all too familiar steps of Shorecrest, I said out loud to Marney, Shay and Jo - "I thought we were past all this." and Marney replied "That's because we are."
School is for the weak and strong-willed, I however am neither.
