My story used to be one of a small ship in a raging storm. My ship pitched from one side to another, tossed about in the oncoming waves. When the ocean of my life was calm, I always knew I was in the eye of a hurricane, so I learned to batten down hatches and live under the tarp.

I was always under threat of being capsized. When I was old enough, I abandoned ship and traveled from continent to continent looking for a new life, a new me.
