So, I was with a couple friends earlier who wanted palms read. When I was asked to give my hand, I chuckled and offered it up. The lady looked at it and said, "Well, that's interesting." I was sitting there thinking, 'Great, she's going to "predict" my death now.' Well, she didn't do that. She asked me very straight up, "Did you almost die, when you were very young? Maybe on more than one occasion?" I nodded. "And from what I see, you spent a lot of your childhood stressed out." No ****. "To the point of suicidal, even before you were ten." I nodded again. "And you're suicidal now?" I nodded once more.
All of this brought up a lot tonight, that was already on my mind, but made me acknowledge it more. See, I try so hard every day to just remind myself I've over exaggerated my past. That I couldn't have had it that bad because so many people have it worse. And every time I let people see into it, they always do the same this woman did; she started tearing up and said she's sorry for what's happened. Am I really blind to it all or are people just really sensitive to these things? I'm really trying to figure it out.
