But what I found, there in the darkness, there at the bottom of the cold ocean, there surrounded by the bits and bones of the self I used to be, was another self. She’d been there all along, but until now I never needed her. She was waiting in the wings, and all of a sudden, I needed her desperately. She is my next self, the one I’ve been waiting to be all along, without even knowing it. Thank God for her.
