Dr. Don

I should be incredibly excited. Or having a nervous breakdown. I should either be jumping up and down or sobbing my eyes out. Instead I don't feel anything. I'm just numb. Dr. Don would say it is okay, and that my awareness wheel is not as feelings-based as some other people's are, but more action-based. However, everyone that Dr. Don worked with at Rikers Island was the same way so maybe that's not always a good thing. I miss Dr. Don. I bought a card to give to him at the end of the school year but I never gave it to him. I don't know why. He gave me a B despite my awful attendance. I think he knew I had problems, because he is Dr. Don and Dr. Don has worked with broken souls for so long that he only needs to look in your eyes once to know something is up.This was supposed to be an entry about moving to New York and then it became all about Dr. Don. Maybe I will write him an e-mail someday.

Well... I'm looking forward to hear. How is New York? Everyone loves it at first. You'll be enamored until you get disconcerted. And then you pick yourself up and settle in. It's the natural cycle.
