From the age of about two years old until I was twenty, I didn't see or speak to another person. Period. No one at all, ever. And after I escaped, naturally it seemed like being outside of captivity was a better thing than being held in a tower.
This wouldn't be nearly as difficult if I'd continued to not know what it was like to have conversations, or friends, or what it's like to live in a place you don't resent. But I can't say I'm worse off now-- or better off either. I'm just... here.
