“Vera said: “Why do you feel you have to turn everything into a story?”

 

So I told her why.

 

Because if I tell the story, I control the version.

 

Because if I tell the story, I can make you laugh, and I would rather have you laugh at me than feel sorry for me.

 

Because if I tell the story, it doesn’t hurt as much.

 

Because if I tell the story, I can get on with it.”
