2. I hate to admit it, but my memory (or lack of) terrifies me.

May 2012

I was bullied in Jr High and the first 2 years of Sr High - then I fell in with a crowd that just didn't give a rip (about anything) and if it continued, I simply blocked it out or never noticed.

A few years ago, I came across my HS yearbook in a box of stuff at my parent's house. Sat down in the dusty attic and started paging through it. Signatures and comments from people I don't really remember, and pics of me participating in various activities (school paper, track, etc) that I don't even recall doing. It was a surreal feeling.

I think I just blocked it all out. At least I hope thats what it is. Some memories are as vivid as if they happened yesterday, but my final 2 years are one ginormous blur.
