I remember once imagining what my life would be
like, what I'd be like. I pictured having all these
qualities, strong positive qualities that people could
pick up on from across the room. But as time
passed, few ever became any qualities that I actually
had. And all the possibilities I faced and the sorts of people I could be, all of them got reduced every year
to fewer and fewer. Until finally they got reduced to
one, to who I am. And that's who I am.
