“There is a wall inside of me. A high concrete wall that I am stuck behind. A wall that I am always trying to climb to the top of and reach over. But I can never make it. All I do is stand back here and listen to the people on the other side who sound like they belong together. They included in something.”
― Kerry Young, Gloria: A Novel
