In my 24 years of existence, I did not understand why God placed me here without an explanation. I am a useless servant, a petty daughter, and a mother to no one. It is the way I want it to be, the way it should be.

Finally, after overcoming sickness, I finally see my place. I am not to be wedded, bring societal change, or be productive—I am to dream.

I am to sleep in bed, doze off, and live elsewhere. There is no other way to put it; I am a dreamer, a free spirit. To wander is to go home. To go home is to be free, and to be free is to dream.

I am not of this mortal kind you think I am. I am far from it, my friend. I am the aurora—there but not, the aura that draws us in but is so far away. I am of spirit, not man.
