I know firsthand how critical support systems are.
I think it's the human spirit inside of all of us that has an enormous capacity to survive.
I'm afraid of elevators, because they are an enclosed space, but I get in.
I, too, was carrying around my own fate. All the things I couldn't know sat somewhere inside, embroidered into me-maybe not quite fixed to the point of inevitability but waiting, in any event, for a chance to unspool.
I think that I find a lot of my healing out in the world.
I don't think I'm unusual in that, in my 20s, like many people, I felt invincible.
