22. Opening Up To People

Nikradical

As long as I can remember, I’ve had issues opening up to people. With my first crush, I told my friend and she betrayed that trust by telling him. It took me a long time and only until college before I felt willing enough to even start talking about boys to friends. When I was little, opinions and arguments were considered ‘disobedience’, and I was often beaten for trying to advocate for myself or, in some cases, tell my mom’s boyfriend why I didn’t think he should be around.

You could even say bossy when it came to creating elaborate stories. It worked very well with my friends, because I was always willing to play the part of the villain. Van Helsing the movie from 2004 had a huge influence on me when I was 8. After that, it was nothing but vampires, and werewolves, and supernatural creatures for me to play as.
