At first I did not want to go to an all girls high school. Boy crazy as I was, I was obsessed with kissing and dating. An all girls school sounded boring. But I enjoyed it. I did things that I might not have done otherwise like debate team or school newspaper. It helped keep me focused.
Leaving Scranton early (the first time). I really focused on my writing and I finally got published- several times. It also got me to go to writing groups and the courage to meet new people.
My failed suicide attempt gave me a newfound appreciation for my life, the sunshine and the people who love me. When I go to a concert or see a Christmas tree i feel a jolt of gratitude. I feel a jolt of gratitude when I watch It’s a Wonderful Life. It speaks directly to me.
Not finishing college probably gave me a shit ton of money and allowed me to explore the career of being a published writer.
Breaking up with —-- allowed me to date Justin who treats me right and has never made me feel unsafe.
