A childhood is full of great defining stories, these moments in which you make enormous decisions about how the world is and how you will be in reaction to that world for the rest of your life. And you forget that you did that. You just become that reaction, but you can't remember why you became that.
The moment when you make that that decision and become that reaction is freeing. Suddenly you have the choice of either being that thing that you've always chosen to be, or being something totally different that's not a reaction to the fact that no one showed up to one of your birthday parties. You're free from that tragedy of the past. You don't have to be a reaction for the rest of your life.
