Finding Shelter

Hello,

I don’t know if any of you felt like this before but a month into my sophomore year I started to get anxiety attacks and it made me feel weak, vulnerable and useless. I had a lot going on, over the summer I had my Uncle Jim die unexpectedly and my grandfather was in the hospital sick with aspirating pneumonia.

It was a terrible summer but I told myself before school started that I would get through sophomore year and come out with a bang.  I never felt like myself again because everything started closing in around me but then I found a refuge, someone to talk to and that was Christina.  
 She just listened to me while I talked and didn’t say anything unless I asked her something. It was a good therapy session at lunch then to get my mind off things she would recommend one of her books that she was reading and we would have weakly discussions about that. It never got old and still to this day a great thing to get my mind off things.

I tried confiding into my cousin about everything that happened instead of unloading everything on Christina but what happened is unexplainable….. TO BE CONTINUED......wait! There is one more thing I want to leave you guys with. A Haiku!

The dirt, protects me

The world is dark and big

I am sheltered
