After Celine and I talked, I felt lighter. It felt like I had been carrying around heavy boxes for days and I finally was able to sit them down somewhere.
I wanted to tell her that my crush on her went way back, but I didn't wanna seem like some stalker weirdo. Even though that is technically what I've been over the years. Once I was taken from my parents and put into foster care, I thought for sure I'd never see her or anyone from my hometown ever again. And that was true, for a little while.
