He is that sort of person—the kind who appears to have no boundaries at first, who you have to get to know incredibly well to understand that his guileless openness is in part a defense to protect the deeper, more closely guarded things about which he is almost pathologically private.

You change your name, your vantage point, your plotline, the way other people have too many drinks or do drugs: to avoid pain, to escape themselves, or to make things seem bigger. Reality, enhanced.

Where you are standing—your spot on the ground amid this vast world—and what you choose to look at from there means absolutely everything.

There are too few words for who and what human beings are to each other. Language is a territory still mostly uncharted. We are the cartographers, every day, still mapping the human heart.
