"I might never fully understand how I feel about myself... and that's okay by me.
I have people I care about all around me who will do anything to keep me safe.
I've trudged through rough days to get where I am.
Who I am doesn't matter - it's who I want to be that counts,
and the people I care about respect that.
I couldn't ask for anything else."
I have had Torikku Robinson for roughly 10 years now, and she has gone through so many changes. I couldn't get rid of her if I tried, and I doubt I would even want to. She is the crux of my development as a person, physically and mentally - a reminder of how I've grown and how far I've come, particularly in my skills as a writer.
Sure, her backstory is a mess of confusion. You know what though? I wrote it as a kid, and changing it would mean erasing that reminder of my growth. It doesn't matter what her past was like, at least in every little detail. It matters most who she is now, and who she may be in the future. She will continue to grow, just as I do.
“I grow more and more intrigued by this as I write: how words, even the most carefully chosen, can mean such different things from one person to another, so that others might think about what I write in ways I did not intend at all.” - Dawn Hammill
