Cabbage Rolls
At the bottom, I will be sharing a recipe that is like the recipe my grandma did. Since my grandma didn’t write out the recipe. Nor can I ask her about it as she isn’t available for me to ask. It’s basic but sometimes basic food can be the nicest. The food is ‘Cabbage Rolls’ and it was one of my favorite dishes while growing up. My grandpa used to tell us that it was ‘Pigs in a Blanket’. Because my grandpa thinks he’s funny. He’s sometimes right about that.

Reparative Pal Program Eleven
Leaving the house without shoes wasn’t easy. As the way that the sidewalk felt under my feet was painful. But obviously I ignored it as I ran towards his car. Getting the right key out while keeping an eye on the front door. Soon as I got it open, I climbed inside it. Keeping an eye on the front door while I did it. It was so good to be out of the house. At that moment I had the feeling of the night air on my skin was bliss. Even if it wasn’t for as long as I wanted it to be. Maybe while I’m driving, I can have the windows down. That isn’t the point of all of this as I started the car and pulled out of the driveway.

Reparative Pal Program Ten
After this, John got bored of this gently setting me back in the wheelchair. Taking great pains to make sure that I wasn’t jostled too much. He treated me like I was made from a fragile kind of glass that would break otherwise. But I ignored that as he cleaned up the trays first. John had taken them back to the kitchen or wherever they went when we were done with them. Then came back to me and wheeled me down the hallway. Straight towards another room that was twice the size of the room I had just been in. Maybe even a bit bigger than the cafeteria that I briefly saw some time ago on the way to Alya’s office. There were several tables that were just like the tables in the other room as well. A large T.V was set up against the farthest wall. Right in the middle of it at a height that most of the patients wouldn’t be able to reach. On it was a channel that had played what I had seen in passing in town.

Reparative Pal Program Nine
Well, I’m vaguely sure that we’re doing something sort of therapeutic. Though the way that John goes about it doesn’t feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is meant to help you deal with stressful situations and other things. The other things I can’t remember are off the top of my head right now. As I’m not entirely sure if I’m even remembering what was supposed to happen at all. I suppose in a way that this would help me practice with stressful situations. How to deal with someone that wants to own you like a damn animal is one. Keeping said person happy is probably part of that. This has been something that’s been easier said than done. Ever since I woke up, he’s been a bit…difficult.

Reparative Pal Program Eight
After some amount of time had passed, the lights slowly dim back on. Making me wince when they fully turn on. They were much too bright for my tastes. I would say for this time of morning but I’m not even sure what time it is. All I do know is that I barely slept much the night before. Sleep has become a luxury that a lot of us in the Woodrow Clinic can afford. In the past six months I can only get a few good hours of sleep. Other times I can’t fall asleep no matter what I do. Closing my eyes as I try to coax myself into unconsciousness. Failing spectacularly despite my hard efforts to get myself asleep.

Runaway Farmboy
My name is Thomas Woodworth. Or as everyone in my family seems to love to call me, ‘Tom Thumb’. As I was no bigger than my mother’s thumb when I was born. And I have barely grown in the fifteen years since then. I am the youngest brother of three. My other brothers’ names are Charles and Alexander. Unlike myself, they’re normal height for their ages. Seventeen and sixteen. Perfectly ‘normal’ children that aren’t abnormally sized. My mother and father both love to rub in for no good reason in my opinion.

Reparative Pal Program Seven
Soon as ‘dinner’ was over, I was wheeled back to the room I had been forced into. It was somewhat around the same size as my old college dorm room. But with a lot more white walls and way less furniture than that. Something that I find somewhat impressive considering that I was working so hard. And still made barely enough to make enough money to get what I got. Thank goodness that Facebook exists. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have some of the things that I had. Either way the room is just so exhausting to be in. No matter what way I try to be optimistic about this whole thing I just can’t. As this whole place makes staying out of my mind a whole lot more difficult. Trying to keep myself out of my own mind has been difficult these past six months. Something that I’m guessing is the point around here. To keep us from being able to not stop thinking or feeling so damn isolated from others.

Reparative Pal Program Six
That ‘girl’ from the group ‘therapy’ session that we had earlier today. ‘She’ had a patch on ‘her’ hospital gown like I did. The transgender pride symbol. Something I hadn’t seen in a positive way in quite a few months. One that people are trying to convince us of is the worst thing in the entire world despite history saying other otherwise. Anyways. I’m very sure that person was a young trans man they brought in a bit before me. It was shown to us on a television screen in the Rec room that they allow us in sometimes. Quite possibly five months or so. The memory of that young man’s face flashed in my mind. Some ‘concerned citizen’ had been the one to physically keep the ‘Wrong One’ in place while bravely calling the proper authorities. Or something to that effect. I’m not sure if I’m remembering the whole story that well.

Dipping My Toes in Social Transitioning
My first chest binder was from Gc2b. And I absolutely loved it when I had it. It was one of the coolest things in the world. A step towards me becoming the person that I wanted to be. In all honesty, it was by far the most wonderful moment for me. Even though it wasn’t all that comfortable.

Reparative Pal Program five
While I ate, I tried to not overthink everything that has happened today. But without anything to distract me it was difficult. My brain wouldn’t quiet as I sat on that damned foam mattress. Eating food that was so bland and unsatisfying. At least so far it hasn’t hurt my stomach like the last meal I ate. Maybe it really did have to do with going from liquids to eating solid food again? If I had my phone, I would finally be able to look it up. Something that would also help keep me distracted from my thoughts. I wonder where my phone was put in a place like this. Maybe it’s in the administration office?
