When I think of Simone now, I think of butterfly wings. Beautiful and excruciatingly delicate. Touch them once and they might disintegrate.

About This Quote

Back when I was in my early twenties, I was the youngest of three children. My two oldest brothers had already moved out of the house by the time I showed up, leaving me to fend for myself. My parents were always busy with work, so I pretty much had to fend for myself. I also had to take care of my two younger siblings.

That meant lots of cooking, cleaning, laundry, and babysitting. The best part of all this? It meant having a free pass to do whatever I wanted.
