Growing up, I always felt different. I didn't quite fit in. I did try.
I had an epiphany in my early teens. I was perched on a roof with George Johnson, surveying manicured lawns that metaphorically revealed all I abhorred: conformity, containment, expectation. And through this I discovered that one could actually choose what one wanted to do with their life. So I chose then to go and live on a Greek Island. I didn't know when or where. I only knew that I owned the choices of my life. And this epiphany has held me in good stead. I have travelled on many overgrown trails, meandering paths, tracks, even concrete freeways.
And now I an about to embark on this long desired Greek Island sojourn ....
