my stories

I really love Ms Abramovic's words, but they frighten me.
I remember being taunted as a child, I was a vulnerable and shy little person. I would tell stories to protect myself - make up memories of experiences I hadn't had and people that never existed. I was so afraid. But why? My family was caring and supportive. My mother says I was open and vulnerable from birth, that somehow I didn't get the armor needed to deal with the world. I learned to protect myself through stories and manipulation.
Her image is beautiful.
