And I sort of wanted it as proof. Because it's SO freaking weird to think that...yeah, dad took me to a party, let them make a porn film with me, let them pass me around. That's bizarre.
...Well, it was a really detailed memory, right? The other person pointed that out.
...this is true.
...then I thought " Well, I can write fiction." I have. I even have a horror novel plot in my head...and have CHUCKLED over the plot points.
Chuckled.
...I was writing and sobbing, though?
So while my memory is probably not perfectly accurate?
It happened.
It's more like a series of disjointed, split-aecond clips?
But it still happened.
We in my head are not making it up.
....AAAND now we have to stop rolling around in the past, get a job, attempt to sign up for school ( SCARED AS HELL! ) ....generally behave like an adult.

As for the job and school stuff - one step at a time. You only have to do one step at a time.
And I think you are going to love school. We will be "holding your hand" all the way!
We're here for you, BD. And we're not going anywhere:-)
I had so many fears when even the application process seemed to be so hard. Then the classes well they too have , but I have received so much support in the process, the most coming from the people here. I felt like a small child, funny when you consider my age.

Just take it one step at a time, share when you need affirmation and we will be here.

Trust your gut...
Gentle support and (((Hugs))).
