"When I was three years old I was burned by the wood heater at my grandparents house. I don't remember the incident but my body does. On my hand is the smallest brown dot that you wouldn't notice if I didn't tell you too. My family tells me that I cried and cried and cried, but for the life of me I can't remember that day. Sometimes I look at my hand and wonder how it felt but then I think that maybe I was blessed, to forget something that obviously caused me so much pain. Isn't it crazy that we can be broken before we even now what that means?"
