When I was 11 years old and I was on a road trip with my family. I turned to my dad and said, "Do you believe in Adam and Eve?" And he said he didn't think so.

Eventually that idea led to my feeling liberated, but at that time it was very scary.

But it takes a really brave warrior soul to sit there in these emotions that admittedly don't feel good in the body.
