The first question she was asked was what do you do? as if that were enough to define you. nobody ever asked you who you really were, because that changed. you might be a judge or a mother or a dreamer. you might be a loner or a visionary or a pessimist. you might be the victim, and you might be the bully. you could be the parent, and also the child. you might wond one day and heal the next.
