This is really lovely and insightful and also a little heartbreaking. That you came to believe you had an evil secret in the First Grade is just so sad—but I think that’s what happened to a lot of us. I know I came to believe as a kid that if people knew the real truth about me, what I was really like, I’d end up all alone. So I pretended to be what people seemed to want and then drank to make it seem less horrible.

This was really inspiring and beautiful!
