A sign from the school that I'd have to meet maybe every six months to do this assessment, whether I still need financial aid or not.

I'm like, still poor.

My grades are good, whatever.

And she was like, and I was starting to dress the way, again, think American apparel.

I was starting to wear stuff maybe that I like to wear.

I had one or two good shirts or what I thought were like cool going out shirts that I would wear.

And I don't know why she asked me, but it came up in the therapy that my sexuality, and I'm exploring, I have a girlfriend or whatever.

And she goes, and I'm like, yeah, I just like, you know, every time I walk into a room, I look like this now.

You know, it's like, it's just, you know, you're just always like, oh, like, you know, it's nothing, it's wrong, but it is different.

It's weird.

Most aren't.

She goes, do you think you'd feel better if you chose to wear different clothing?

And then I remember thinking like, well, I actually have not even, like, or if you chose, you know, if you liked other clothing or if you could like, I don't remember how she said it, but I'm like, I don't choose taste.

Like when you go to a store, when you go to Uniqlo and they have the women's section and the men's section like this, when you're looking at the store.

I go, ooh, new cords, new brown cords.

I wonder if they have my size.

I'm not choosing.

If they didn't have signs, you would still go to the cords.
