“They call you heartless; but you have a heart and I love you for being ashamed to show it.”— Friedrich Nietzsche

“His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind.” -Anne Bronte 

True. ❤️

Me too ! I was thinking.. didn’t they have mugshots when they were arrested for the van break in ? @everlasting-contrast

Yeah, that would’ve been standard booking procedure. It’s curious as to why those were never released. Maybe the parents somehow prevented it. But can you just imagine the look on their poor deer-in-the-headlight faces waiting for their parents to show up? Omg. That’d be priceless! Lol

“When he got to be an adolescent, and he got out of the gifted
program, junior high started. He was really excruciatingly painfully
shy. I remember him being so uncomfortable. I remember once dropping him
off in front of school and he didn’t see me, I was trying to pick him
up and I yelled out his name… out the window… and as soon as he got
in the car he said, “Mom, don’t ever say my name in front of everybody.”

That’s just who he was. He didn’t really have the ability to laugh
at himself or to lighten up. He took things very seriously. But he was
also playful, and liked to do things with the family, and he liked
different kinds of foods. We’d go out for dinner and he always wanted to
try the most unusual things to eat. And he loved baseball and he had a
good sense of humor, and he was always sending goofy emails to his dad, or sound files that would startle him when he turned on the computer.”

“The other thing… he wanted to be invisible, I mean, when he went to junior high… and he’d been in the gifted program… and he was just sort of slacking off, and they had asked him, “Do you want to go to the high school for algebra?” And he was just terrified of that. He said, “No, no, no, I don’t want to do that!” So we said ok well, hang out here in junior high and take geometry, take other classes, and he just didn’t want to be the focus of attention. He was just very uncomfortable with that.”

“ I mean, one of the things he told us when he was in junior high, when we were saying, “What’s going on? You did such a great job in elementary school, why don’t you want to keep it up?” We were encouraging him to try to stay with the smart people and he said, “It’s not cool to be smart.” He didn’t want to be identified as someone who was different or singled out, and by the end of his 6th grade year when he was still in the gifted program, he was beginning to feel very self-conscious about being in that classroom, like he was some kind of a freak.”
