And when it left my body, it evaporated into nothing. It had been living in me, but as soon as it was exposed, it disappeared.”

“There is no part of me that isn't in here. I'm inviting you in. Into my thoughts, into my compulsions, into my voice. This is a raw but inviting look into a world I wasn't built for, and that wasn't built for me. My diagnosis makes some people uncomfortable. These people make me feel uncomfortable.

I just needed to retrace my steps, if I only could remember where I’d been.”
