I have my friends, but I’ve never had a Person. Not that way. I wouldn’t even know how to. Growing up without parents, bouncing from one foster home to another, and losing my hockey career before it even really got started doesn’t teach you how to keep people. It teaches you that people don’t stay. That nothing is permanent, and you shouldn’t expect it to be. I’m old enough to understand that this isn’t exactly a healthy way of thinking, but knowing that and knowing how to change it are two entirely different things.
