The little time that I was there, like, I mean, obviously it was the pressure of like the whole, these girls messing with me. And I felt like I was back in high school being like somewhat bullied, but like, I also know like I need to control myself and I didn't want to hurt somebody. That's why I just really couldn't take it.

But in there, I mean, they were drinking, people were doing, I'll never forget. I spent a New Year's Eve in the halfway house. People were fucked up. They were on pills. They were on alcohol. Like not me. Cause I was trying to, just be my regular self. And I knew not to trust these people. But for me, I was like, I thought about that for a while before I actually left.

For the remainder of my year, which was very tough at times, obviously, because, you know, you're you're just stuck kind of like in this building and get to go out a couple of times a day and stuff like that.
