Hidden, that is what I had become. I have always hidden myself from the time I realized I was a human being, a person, a little girl, and now an adult. I never wanted to be seen. I was looked at as a shy girl. I always felt alone, although I wasn't. At times, I feel like I am still that little girl who wants to be hidden. Even today, as I write, I sometimes feel the aloneness creeping up on me. Believe me, I like being left alone and being by myself...
