I've been writing forever. I have to.
:38:04
How long has it been
since you stopped writing?

:38:08
About a month.
:38:11
Do you remember
the first thing you wrote?

:38:14
A poem.
:38:15
A poem. About what?
:38:18
My dad.
:38:20
Can you remember anything it said?
:38:22
I told you, I don't wanna
talk about my childhood.

:38:28
I just... I feel so stupid,
sitting in therapy.

:38:31
People have much harder
childhoods than mine.

:38:33
We're not talking about others.
We're talking about you.

:38:36
I'll give her that much.
:38:38
I'm the problem.
:38:43
I worry about being in therapy.
:38:45
I worry about not being in therapy.
:38:48
I even worry I'm not entertaining
enough for Dr. Sterling.

:38:51
I just keep thinking that
if I could just be normal...

:38:55
...if I could just get out of bed in the
morning, everything would be okay.

:38:59
Well, what do you think normal is?
:39:03
Most people, they cut themselves,
they put a Band-Aid on, keep going.

:39:07
And what do you do?
:39:09
I just keep bleeding.
:39:11
So you think being normal is having
a wound, putting a patch on it...

:39:15
...then go on with your life?
:39:17
Isn't that what functioning is?
:39:19
Isn't that what living is?
:39:22
You know, you keep going,
no matter what happens to you.

:39:24
Is that the way you wanna live?
:39:52
Mom.
:39:56
Oh, come on, now, honey.
:39:58
Why don't you tie up your hair
anymore? Your face is so pretty.
