There are some people in this life who never fully understand the impact they leave on another human being. Their fingerprints stay behind anyway. Quiet. Permanent. Like boot prints hardened into Missouri clay after the rain finally dries.

This letter is for those people.

To Recruiters Lafler and Dehnke,

Thank you. Truly.

Unfortunately, the reindeer games had already started long before I ever raised

Quotes by H.M. Gautsch (?)

“The fact that I didn't even love myself was just enough to know it's time to change. I accept that not many are able to help, let alone, understand the troubles that lie within.”
― H.M. Gautsch, Evolution of Oneself: My Poetic Memoir
