I remember the first time I wished I didn’t have to live. I remember where I was. I was outside my house. Next to the driveway. I was thinking about how much I hated school. How much I hated not being able to be free. How much I hated not being able to be outside. I loved mother nature and I wanted simply to be and to love her. I hated that I was trapped. I hated that I was trapped for 12 years. I knew this number. 12. Years. I had only been alive for 6. Twice my lifetime I would have to be stuck at a desk performing menial tasks. I thought I would never be able to survive this disconnection from the wonder I experienced when I sat outside. I remember this. Vividly.
