Hello everyone (: my daughter leaves and gets to go early due to joining the Impact program (Thankfully she worked so hard and got awarded scholarship money). We live three hours away and our vehicle is 20+yrs old. Trying to make sure we have everything thats needed and that we don't bother with what isn't needed. Family friend just told us about the dorm group chat and talking with the roommates about sharing supplies (last minute shoppers like us, DG has the spend $30 save $10 this weekend) and I just want to double check that I send what she needs and enough of it and anything else handy that I may not of thought of.

Been plagued by nightmares of the past my entire life. Last night was undoubtedly the worst.

Night time being stuffed into a vehicle sometimes alone and sometimes with others. Only 4yrs old and taken to places and people I don't want to be with. Trying to get away and seek help from others only for them to look at me like I was crazy then return me to the bad people. No escape. All those hands all over.

Currently early morning in the parking lot at work waiting to start my day in a metal factory. Trying to push it down and lock it up tight but the hinges on the door is so weak and worn.

My protective side is malfunctioning so its kinda like flipping through tv channels with all the different thoughts, feelings, and noise. My little is frantic and devastated and hurt. There is no comfort.

Wanted to call in but no one would understand. The headache is so intense and the dizziness.

How will we make it eight hours?

'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I — I hardly know, sir, just at present — at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

'What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. 'Explain yourself!'

'I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, 'because I'm not myself, you see.'

'I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.

'I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, 'for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.
