This feeling has become stronger now that I have my own daughter.
My whole life I felt like an outsider. I felt lost, like I didn't belong anywhere. I wanted to connect, to feel like a human being.
I was intense, like a sharp knife, and my parents were dull, unemotional, not engaged.
And then it changed. I met him. He was able To see the world as I did, in color.
And he was enough, and then I became pregnant.
And then I held her, and breathed her in, and with every sense I became alive, like I never had before.
She was a butterfly. Butterfly's are proof that anyone can have a chance at a second life.
And I feel like a different person, I feel happy.
I feel like I'm a butterfly, living a life with color- with my two loves, connected finally in a world I can belong in
