I know that being a gifted female set me up for trauma. Giftedness is not just a steep learning curve. We are sensitive in all areas of life.

Its such a shame to live in a society that ranks and judges everyone and makes us compete. That may get more work out of the middling ranks but at what cost to them? And to people like me who get culled from the herd one way or another?

I might have survived my mother because I did have a nurturing father. When mom turned all fairy tale evil stepmother on me, I had kind neighborhood moms who mitigated some of the damage.

Everyone told me to hang in there until I could go away to college. Then in the first real class...

It means nothing. This life means nothing.

Im tired of not saying what I know to be true.
