SURPRISE!

BY LAURA HULL

Life is absolutely a funny thing, when you think about it. Tall, handsome men realistically were the fantasy of one’s childhood books. Can you believe that someone like me might meet that fantasy? I had so many dreams and never thought even one would come true. But here I sit in my favorite place, writing this blog and making snarky remarks to my mother. And soon I will really be living the dream, writing songs with my boyfriend, Nick.

So yeah, who would have thought that any of my dreams would come true?

Surprise!

Fairytale

Wednesdays are the best. That’s my day at M2H and my time to shine. All that I ever wanted, besides to be neurotypical like my twin sister, was to be seen as the real Laura, not the stimming thing I appear to be on the outside. I step through the door of M2H, and for a few hours, I transform into the real me. I’m like Cinderella: this is the ball, and at three o’clock, I transform from princess to ratty beggar.

I wish my life were more like Cinderella’s. I’ve got the handsome prince lined up. I’ve got the fairy godmother - Judy. Now all I need is the glass slipper, which would be something to calm this stupid body down. It wouldn’t be a perfect happy ending, but it could still end with and they lived happily ever after.
