Thats what she said...

I have heard of people remembering things that happened to them from their childhood much later in life.  Like my mother for instance, at 40 years old she one-day remembered that she had been a victim of child molestation by an Uncle.  I don't remember ever being molested yet when I listen to psychiatrists and people who analyze the lives of people who have been molested I find I relate strongly to their negative behaviors. What is my excuse if I had not been molested?

A check up from the neck up...

I remember waiting in the traditional ‘Waiting room” area and looking around at the few other faces in the room. Glancing around wondering to myself, I wonder what their problem is? The funny thing is, they all LOOKED like they had issues. Do I look like that? Do I wear a tired look of distress on my face? Do my shoulders roll forward, do my eyes seem vacant is my appearance unkempt?  Maybe, maybe not – but one thing for sure is, we all have issues. Before I could imagine and develop the issues of my characters scenarios I heard my name called.
