[Redway]

I was a good student in the academic sense and being well-behaved but I have a lot of negative feelings directed that way (my high-school) generally. It wasn’t all bad and I do keep in touch with quite a few (a lot of us went to the same church/had the same communal affiliation so I was always going to be about their lives in some capacity anyway) but looking back much of it was pretty bleak and frustrating. I felt that at the time and hindsight hasn’t softened me on that front. Some truly awful things happened there. I own my personality flaws and one thing I am to an extent (as nice as I am otherwise) is a bitter person at the best of times but school hits differently when you’re surrounded by so many awful, gaslight-y people.
