Yes, this.

Amazing what anonymity does for our willingness to be open, isn't it? And knowing that I won't run into any of you at the grocery store and get all awkwardly embarrassed about the last thing I might have posted here. Not that I would mind running into any of you at the grocery store!

When depression started creeping up on me in the 6th grade (funny, eh?) I didn't think everyone hated me - I just knew that they didn't like me. I didn't wear the right brands or come from the right neighborhood or pretend I didn't know the answers in class. It turns out that carrying around a copy of "War and Peace" in middle school is a really good way to make sure no one likes you. Too bad I didn't realize that in 5th grade, or before I transferred to public schools!
