Daddy, I’ve been hiding from you I sit here in my big chair Feeling the leather arms with my hands Trembling in my skin But pretending A fist is gently knocking on my door...

&quot;I was always an unusual girl.<br /> My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean, and if I said I didn&#039;t plan for it to turn out this way I&rsquo;d be lying.<br /> Because I was born to be the other woman.<br /> I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.<br /> Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn&#039;t even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.&quot;

&quot;Every moment of your life, you&#039;re writing. Even in your dreams, you&#039;re writing. When you walk the halls in this school you meet various people and you write furiously in your head.&quot; -Frank McCourt
