So I was talking the other day about my time in the hospital and I was joking about it because how else do you cope with something so overwhelming.

“Hah yeah it’s been a while not that I miss it, the cameras, the restraints,” I think for a moment “ it’s been a year” I say quietly. My smile fades “It’s been a year” I know I wasn’t there as long as the others and I know I’ve since had a better experience in another hospital and I know that I lied my way out. But it’s been a year.

And I didn’t think I’d make it another year.

awkward peace sign gays ✌️

awkward thumbs up gays 👍

awkward ok sign gays 👌

awkward finger guns gays 👉

every gay is at least one (1) of these don’t even lie

All I want to say is boarding school was weird, I smoked with pta ladies when I was meant to be dropping the habit but I wasn’t allowed nicotine replacement. I take care of the principals dog even tho I ghosted the institution. My principals partner gave me their dogs skincare I’m lost. The principal is great, 5 rounds of covid can’t take him down.
