Tales of Change and Desperation

All children mythologize their birth.
It is a universal trait. You want to know someone?
Heart, mind and soul? Ask him to tell you about
when he was born. What you get won't be the truth:
it will be a story. And nothing is more telling than a story.
-Diane Setterfield.

If someone were to ask you,
"Do you remember anything about your birth?"
You would not know how to answer.
Because the answer to the question belongs
to those who were alive and awake at the time of our birth.
Which, in my case, is 16 years ago.
Who remembers something of 16 years ago?
That's right, no one. Not the full story anyways.

I'm not sure who this is for,
but I miss you.
Whoever you are.

HAHAHAHA.
