“For a long time, my friendship with the Eights has been…challenging for me. So when school started, Sue and I decided to channel my energy into positive things, like my swimming,” I say. “That’s been good. Then I met Caroline, and that was really good. And then I found Poet’s Corner, and started writing poetry, and met a bunch of amazing people, and then there was you. And I felt healthy for the first time in years. I thought I was getting better. But as it turns out, I was getting worse.”
