I feel new... I don't connect with that person anymore. That 14 year old who was... so traumatized. And, you know, I didn't know for the longest time that because of some of the things I experienced as a teen, like sexual violence, I was self-medicating all of these trauma symptoms, you know, that I was feeling for years.
