i left home at eighteen with one bag and a rule: don't need anyone.
it worked. i could sleep anywhere, eat anything, go days without saying a word. i called it independence. it was a wall, and i built it well.
the thing about a wall you build to keep the hard things out: it keeps everything out. the good mornings too. someone says something kind and you watch it hit the wall and slide off.
i'm not tearing mine down. i'm learning where to leave it open.
that's the whole piece. if you built one too, you already know the rest.
