This maze and cluster is a gift and a curse to be privileged to work and walk amongst. Forget being alone. Everyone knows and everyone see’s the transparence within the eyes blinking and pace of a walk. I walk alone fast and furious to avoid speaking to anyone who has the mind of a Queen. I find a spot sit and rest in fetal position. I get walked by and noticed every time. No place is mine here in this maze called school. So just leave me alone. You don’t need to know right away what I have. I will go home and I’m going to stay here. I will reach the end of the Maze someday. The finish line may get broken before I cross but I’ll be one to complete this challenge. Learn from the ones who laugh at the behavior and strike the ones who don’t accept. Maybe they are lost in the maze too. I have a life, so I walk this maze, and say hi as I go. I never hide, I show as much as I want to. The maze is not mine, but my pace is. Even if I walk with a gift and a curse deep inside, I think well of the people who see no curse and walk with me in the maze. We finish, together. This is why I don’t hide.
Having a mental illness and being on a college campus can limit privacy and be very hard, but we can do it if we put our minds to success.
