Clustered
Like a faithful martyr, I have not slept in our bed since she left and watched every car go by, hoping for, I'm not even sure. It's sadly hilarious that I blocked myself from 2 apparent points. First that she's a beautiful girl in great shape. Second, I must be shallow enough that I was sold simply on that, as she possesses no actual self for me to have fallen in love with.

Why Mental Health Matters to Me
One secret I fail to keep is that I grew up poverty-stricken. Food banks, Hud housing, and bill roulette was ingrained in the Rice Household daily. With the lack of funds came the lack of proper medical care. I can count on one hand the times I saw a doctor when I was a child. And two of those times were emergencies (shot in the head and a sliced finger, stay tuned for my memoirs). So, it shouldn't come as a shock that mental health was nowhere on my radar.
