Daniel Aubrey

“it was everything. She had wanted that feeling, so familiar to her, of frustration at never being understood, at never knowing why other people made the seemingly stupid decisions that they made, of pure and utter desperate helplessness at being trapped in a mind that never stopped, that wouldn’t allow her to ‘just let it go’, to vanish if even for a second or two. She needed a break from a lifetime of seemingly talking in an alien language and never knowing why. She wanted a rest from herself.”
