“For so long, it was just my secret.
It burned inside me, and I felt
like
I was carrying something important,
something that made me who I
was
and made me different from
everybody else.
I took it with me
everywhere,
and there was never a moment
when I wasn't aware of it.
It
was like I was totally awake,
like I could feel every nerve ending
in my
body. Sometimes my skin
would almost hurt from the force
of it, that's
how strong it was.
Like my whole body was buzzing
or something. I felt
almost noble,
like a medieval knight or something,
carrying this secret love around with me.”
-Carolyn Parkhurst, Lost and Found
