“I don’t even think George Kaliope, the therapist at Castle who became my closest friend, I don’t even think he could have reached me. Maybe if some stranger could have sensed something was wrong, maybe the right stranger could have reached me through some act of kindness or understanding. I just don’t know. I just ran so much, I didn’t want to even know if anything was wrong at all. I was driving toward self-destruction and nothing could stand in my way. I just had no self-worth.
