Dear Bianca:

“I don’t know why but I feel more comfortable talking about it with people I’m not close to… One time, I said you should think of happier things so you won’t be sad. Of course that was the wrong thing to say… People say I talk to much too… I was always the one shushed or told I’m being too loud… I do remember one time in the fifth grade, my whole class had a text group chat… and people in my class said that they didn’t want to add me because I’d talk too much on TEXT!“-

– reads to me that before you ever got to talk too much and too loudly, you were very, very quiet, even though you had a lot to say. Maybe that’s how you were at home: very quiet. When you went to school, it felt like your opportunity to be heard, so all was brewing in your mind at home, when quiet, erupted to the surface like lava out of a volcano: too much and too loud.

What do you think about my idea?
