Overview
"'Miss February' consists of several chapters from a potential memoir with the same title. The memoir follows a young girl's journey through the tribulations of grief and early-onset mental health issues. The project is divided into three central parts, "Past," "Present," and "Future," and this thesis contains a majority of the content for both the "Past" and "Future" sections. In "Past," we see the protagonist grow up around their similarly affected mother and in the wake of many significant deaths, resulting in Childhood Traumatic Grief. "Present" consists of the most experimental of forms that illustrate the complexity and unreliability of a brain inflicted with trauma and disease. In "Future," the protagonist deals with starting college, medicating properly, and navigating the world while observing the inherent biases towards not only the neurodivergent but also women in general." -- Abstract
