Growing up was a strange, isolated experience for me. My sibling and I were homeschooled with very little world experience or knowledge.
My mother hoarded cats, so I considered myself a "cat person." I was swept up in my mother's obsessions and delusions. I did not even realize dogs could be playful or would want to play. I suppose that is why I love dogs so much now: to me, they represent something new and good in this world. In a world I saw as so dark and broken, there is light. #dogs
