I remember being happy as a kid.

I remember always wearing pink or very bright colors.

I remember being loud and outspoken, liking being the center of attention.

I remember thinking I was the best and bragging about it.


I remember my parents’ divorce


I remember feeling down and a bit anxious.

I remember wearing a lot of sweatshirts and leggings.

I remember keeping to myself or with a small group of friends.

I remember thinking I was the worst.

 

I remember going to high school


I remember being a lot more anxious.

I remember wearing a lot of black.

I remember fearing the new social interactions and the new people.

I remember wondering why I was the way I was.


I remember this past semester


I remember seeing a counselor about my mental health.

I remember making an effort to wear some colors sometimes.

I remember meeting a lot more new people through my friends.

I remember wanting to be better.
