That first time of
having the words come out,

was the scariest

and...

one of the most, uh-

I don't want to say comforting.

It wasn't comforting.

It just felt like

I'd been holding it in

so long

that just telling somebody,

that, "This is why I'm a crazy person."

I mean, I think I even said that to her.

And I'm like,

"Well, the reason I'm a crazy person

is (exhales)

'cause I'm remembering this stuff

that happened so long ago.

that it makes no sense.

That happened a really long time ago.

It's gone, it's over.

I've processed it."

"And yeah, I've learned to live with it."

And she goes, "Obviously, you haven't."
