I wish I remembered more.
Does everyone have a dirty little secret or two?
If your wondering, then the answer is Yes.
I'm thinking I was probably 'funny'. That was my thing?
Wonder what the top 10 secrets people keep are?
Sister K and I used to play together as kids. I remember. Lots of playing 'school'. And I was 'musically' close to my brother J. He introduced me the music of the 30's, 40's, 50's...etc. From Etta James to Chrissie Hynde. And we even worked together, side by side for a few years. Pretty intense years if I remember correctly. Lots of drug use so not everything is clear. Even after that. When I was with L. But when I left L, J and I drifted apart. Lots of anger on my part. Lots. He experienced J with me too. The acts, and the feelings that I accuse him of, are they real? Accurate?
I don't really remember my other 4 brothers and sisters. And not much of my parents. Other relatives, other than my cousin C, my aunt AR, and a little of my grandmas.
Then there's the friendship I had with L. We grew up together. From age twelve to twenty. I have never had a closer friend, than with L. And then lose touch for 30 years. And then how could she have turned out the way she did.
Is this what I'm supposed to be doing in therapy? Telling Celia my most important relationships and how they have affected me? Hmmm
If I'm wondering, then I hope the answer is Yes.
The answer is probably yes. If they're important to you, and they matter in your life story, then they will matter in therapy. I think we have to dig into our prior relationships, from our earliest memory perhaps, to figure out what's not working in our current ones. I hope you're able to chat about it, and that you're able to figure out more of who you are.
