I've always hated summer camp, but this is getting ridiculous. Some people are assuming I'm gay (which is kinda true, but how would they guess that? By the way I walk?), some people are literally taunting me about how I don't really talk or smile, and they assume that I'm related to every single dark-skinned person in camp. This is absolutely exhausting and it's only the first week. You don't know how many times I've wanted to slap people in the face for their stupidity.

     Now, I had a fricking panic attack. Which is just great! I made a couple new friends, I guess, and they tried to comfort me while trying to get me to explain why I was fine, like, two seconds ago and then I just disappeared into the bathroom for a long time. Yeah, it was kinda embarrassing, but thanks for trying. You know who you are.

     Not sure why I'm publishing this part. Maybe it's because I just wanted to let my feelings out for a second. Oh well. Either way, I'm just feeling really bad right now. I might not have a chapter out for a while. I'm still just trying to pull myself together. Maybe in a few days I'll get around to finishing something.

     Oh, and one last thing before I go. I go by Ash now. I've discovered that I'm non-binary and have decided my name doesn't really suit me. So, if you're ever referring to me, just call me Ash. Please. And I use they/them pronouns. That's all I had to say. Um, thanks for reading this dumb rant.
