A problem I have had (June 18)

            Let’s see here. I’ve written about my musical problems and my dyslexia. I’ve hinted at my shyness.  Let’s do that one anyway. When I was younger I was so shy that some of my peers would ask if I was deaf or mute. They had heard me talk in class though, so I would ignore them and say nothing. I had a guy offer me a lollypop if I said something. When I said “here” for attendance, he gave it to me. I didn’t take it though and he asked if I was anti-lollypop just like I was anti-social.
            I’m still very quiet, but it isn’t nearly as bad. Or people grow up and stop asking ridiculous questions. Either way, I’ve always felt better about writing then talking. I feel like I can say anything on this blog. Partly because I use a penname so that people won’t know that it’s me. Partly because it’s a creative writing blog so I can write from anyone’s perspective or experience so the stories I tell may or may not be 100% true from my experiences. And partly because it is writing. If someone’s going to disapprove or have some huge reaction, I’m not there when they do.
