Gotta work, don’t wanna, but gotta

I just had a crazy, freaky session with Doc where I discovered I have a 10 year old inside me that is VERY MAD. Holy mama, this poor peep has a lot of anger. First she was happy to talk to Doc, and then she got mad. More on that later.

      I was able to do the statement, but it was very hard.
