When I was 19, I was at a pretty low point. I was basically whoring around with guys who treated me like shit. Most of them wouldn't even be seen with me, presumably because of my weight. I used to play a lot of Tori Amos tapes in my dad's car as a teenager, and one day, he sat me down and spoke to me in the only language I would understand- the lyrics to Winter. "'When you gonna make up your mind?'" he said "'When you gonna love you as much as I do?'" And although I didn't change overnight, I still carry those words with me.
The musings of a crazy lady from Hamilton, Ohio. "Madwoman in the attic" is a reference to the book "Jane Eyre," and our world where we try to silence and "lock away" the mentally ill.
