That girl in the bookstore was right, you do read minds, because so much of this feels like it came straight from mine.

"I've seen things"

And that's all I've ever needed. To see things, to see them for myself. Let me see, feel, think for myself. To be me, based on my experiences. To have others acknowledge my seeing and letting me be who I am based on what I've seen. I can't do meek anymore, I really can't.
