Everything
Not physically frozen with fear, but mentally.
I can’t move forward.
Done with my last final.
The first one is so true for me.

"The funny thing is that this era of my existence got buried somewhere deep inside me for a long time. I chose to forget, in no small part because I’ve always blamed myself entirely for how screwed up it all was. I deceived people. I told them I was 16. I told them I was pretty. I told them I was anything they wanted me to be, really."
