I was sitting working with a gal in school today - one on one with her reading. she doesn't like me to look at her work until it's done, so my mind was drifting... she's a troubled kid, doing terribly in school, and quite a handful in every class... a lot like I was. And then as i was staring out the window, a smiliar window opened in my mind and i was wondering what her home life is like - if she's safe at night... as i wasn't safe at night. these are thoughts i block so to have them settle into my mind right there in school... i was trying to send them away. i told my mind, you don't want to be viewing these kinds of things. why not? it answered. because! i mean, here? now? why not, it answered again....and i started to know glimpses - not even so much as flashbacks but actual memory... thankfully it was time to go, i could no longer be distracted. Tomorrow, I told my mind - save it for tomorrow, for therapy. that would be a first; use therapy to process rather than avoid.
