Chapter One

I've been thinking a lot about stories and beginnings.

You know how movies and books always open on that moment where a person's life changes? On that fateful situation that leads them to love or loss or whatever is going to be interesting enough to write 300 pages about?

I've been waiting almost 22 years for the first chapter of my story. Everything that's happened so far has just been background.

Sometimes I think I'm just dreaming to hope for that defining moment. But I have to believe that there's going to be something more to my life.

I don't know when my story's going to begin, but I hope it's soon. I don't know how the story is going to unfold, but I really hope it's some variation on happily ever after.
