about sofi a
people cry, people smile and people scream. a lot of it at once while some of it stands alone. people cry, people smile and people argues. it's a cycle, of emotions, of things- of anything really. they smile when they see stars, their cats and the person they love the most. they cry when bad things happen. wait, no- sad and bad things happen, sometimes they can also scream when sad and bad things happen. my therapist says it depends on the person, really. but generally she said, even though they are different, they react things in typical ways, generally speaking. they know how to react, when to react, how to process the reactions. an average person knows how to pull it off. while me, i don't.
"sofi, that doesn't necessarily mean there's something bad about not knowing it. look in this way, at least you're trying to learn, we all have things that slows us a bit along the ride." "as much as i'm trying, therapist leighton, i see no improve happening." i say, "like, i know what people do, they react on certain things. but i don't know how to react or when to react." "you can fake it though, right?" "yes but you did mention that i'm not good at faking it." "yeah, you aren't."
therapist leighton has been there for me since i was 18, i'm 20 now and it feels like i'm 18 all over again. the first time i realized that i wasn't normal. that the things i do most of the times aren't normal. but i think, the first part where i'm suppose to react happened when i was 15.
