Since seeing Karla on Thrusday, I've been slightly obscessed about the memories of that period in 1994, when I thought my world was crashing around me.
I tend to put periods of my life in categories: The viterbo years, the Kara period, the theatre camp experience.
The later, was an accumulation of events that blew up in my face. The cliff note version involves a car accident, lies, a suicide attempt and "the letter". My first act of contrition, was to relay the story in journal form to my English teacher, Schobe. My second act, involved using the experience, in essay form for my Enlgish teacher, Grant Smith-in college. The result was a collaborative project which won me two awards for best essay, over the years. I'll need to dig that essay out of hiding.
I havn't thought about that period in DECADES. I wouldn't say I supressed that period because of emotional ties, I believe I just made my peace with it-and frankly there have been other experiences that just took center stage.
Yes, 1994 was a difficult year. I survived. I'm still among the land of the living, and that is what counts....
