| Everything worth anything
is both terrifying and beautiful. |
00:00:35.836 - 00:00:39.477 |
| Like the first time you do something
that you know is wrong. |
00:00:43.343 - 00:00:45.914 |
| You know it's wrong
and yet you do it anyway. |
00:00:48.582 - 00:00:51.256 |
| There was a ladybug
crawling around my ankle |
00:00:56.156 - 00:00:58.932 |
| when I saw Victoria let her
grandmother's bird escape from its cage. |
00:00:59.092 - 00:01:03.006 |
| I watched the bird disappear
into the endless sky like a lonely balloon. |
00:01:03.163 - 00:01:07.111 |
| It was so sad. |
00:01:11.104 - 00:01:13.175 |
| That image left a scar
that never completely healed, |
00:01:17.077 - 00:01:19.785 |
| because until then
I thought that bad things |
00:01:19.947 - 00:01:22.860 |
| could only happen by accident,
never on purpose. |
00:01:23.016 - 00:01:26.293 |
| It was Victoria who first
made me confront |
00:01:35.095 - 00:01:37.598 |
| that danger existed
on the inside of everybody. |
00:01:37.764 - 00:01:40.210 |
| Now she's coming to my school. |
00:01:45.372 - 00:01:47.318 |
| Mom, that's so much worse. |
00:01:59.119 - 00:02:01.292 |
| Every year my mother hopes |
00:02:04.324 - 00:02:05.803 |
| this five-hour drive to school
will be something that it never is. |
00:02:05.959 - 00:02:09.133 |
| What I share
with my mother is silence. |
00:02:10.130 - 00:02:13.077 |
| My heart exists within
the stone walls of that building. |
00:02:29.016 - 00:02:32.259 |
| That's where I live. |
00:02:33.286 - 00:02:34.822 |
| Tanner Hall is majestic
but crumbling. |
00:02:36.823 - 00:02:40.293 |
| It's just a fact, |
00:02:42.162 - 00:02:44.039 |
