my husband thinks i’m a do-gooder who should just worry about her own family. i had a very bad relationship with my mother. it’s not the same, but maybe i have some idea of what it feels like to be treated like you’re less than a person.

i don’t know how to live with myself. i don’t know how to help others as i am now. i long for the past. i felt nothing then but i had a purpose. a place in the world. thank you, for a glimpse into another life. it - it is a great gift. but i cannot accept it. goodbye. 

there is no real me: there’s only karen. the woman i invented. i pretended to be her for so long i became her. beatrice is nothing. all she ever did was hurt people, but when i look in your eyes it’s her i see reflected back at me. i know all this is for me, to show me i’m not alone, it’s alright to be what i am, but i don’t want to be what i am, i want to lie. and you won’t let me.

hello. my name is max. i have two brothers and two sisters, but i think i may have lost them forever. i don’t know if you can hear me. your existence is unproven and seems extremely unlikely, but if you are there, and if you listen to things like me, please help. i don’t even have to see them again, just keep them safe, and in return i will be available to assist you in any way i can, and i will try to believe in you.

the same.

the pain you feel isn’t because of what you are, it’s the life you’ve had. but life can change. you can become better.

when i was very young my father brought me an injured fox cub he found. its leg was broken, crushed, it could not survive. he gave it to me, wanted to see what i’d do. i didn’t want to make that choice. but he left me with it. it was very difficult but a week later, it could walk again. i set it free. when i told my father what i’d done he called me a liar. said it was impossible. i couldn’t understand how he could so underestimate me. then i realised: it is a limit of nature. human minds could not comprehend that their creation could surpass them. it’s how I know you’re underestimating me too. because you can’t do anything else.

                         i guess not. you just… show them the way.
