About This Quote

One afternoon, when I was four years old, my father came home, and he found me in the living room in front of a roaring fire. Because we didn't have a fireplace. He took me by the shoulders and shook me and said, “How can you do this to yourself?” In that moment of anger, he really made me feel small. And he wasn't wrong to be angry.

He was right to be angry. I was being foolish, and it shows how young I was, but you can understand why he was angry. It also shows how much he cared about my safety.
