It was always my intention to protect her, but I failed her just like I failed you, Benedetta. When I left the island, Bunny had to fend for herself. I can't imagine how hard it must've been to keep hiding to feel like there was no other way, just like Bunny, you had to ask yourself, what am I willing to do to fit in, to feel love, and to survive. You did what you had to do, and I hope you won't be afraid to make the same type of choice again. to walk away, to refuse to hide.

I'm tired of doing these panels, but I'm obligated to do them because I'm the only one who can. For a long time, I pretended to be fine with it; honestly, it makes me angry, and I'm learning to listen to that anger because it tells you that even though all of these people are smiling in your face, something is very wrong here... that anger you have to use it, right? But use it for good.

My whole world has shifted, my identity, and I haven't even begun to look back at myself to wonder how didn't I know, what did I miss?And I'm not ready to do that right now, and I'm afraid of what learning about my birth father would mean, not just to me, but to my parents, and to my son.
