Most kids would kill for that kind of freedom. No one would ever know if I stayed out too late or partied too hard. I had no rules. No one cared if I came home. I was left to manage my own life.

Real happiness came from inside, and though I wasn’t totally happy with myself, through Olivia’s eyes there was something worthy here. That gave me this sense of self like nothing else had. If she loved me then I could start to see why I should love me.
