“Given my upbringing and my life in general, it's not so hard to imagine that my mind would capsize eventually.”

“It's hard to imagine a place like that really exists. People have been judging me my whole life.”

“I felt like I had lost something. But not something silly, like my keys or my gum; more like my arm or my foot, something that really mattered. Like something that I could live without, but would make life much harder if it were missing. And life is hard enough. Life is hard enough with everything we're given.”

“Besides, it's my God-given right as an American to speak my mind and fill others' ears with my thoughts, my opinions, my innermost feelings, and my repressed childhood memories.”

“and I'm trying so hard, with all my heart and mind, to make your life as good as you've made mine...”

“By my existence I am nothing more than an empty place, an outline,that is reserved within being in general. Given with it, though, is the duty to fill in this empty place. That is my life.”
