“It’s like a fear takes over my whole body, and then, when it passes, it makes no sense cause it’s like everything’s just fine again. I need a way to feel like something bad happened, or to let it out, you know? Just so I know I didn’t imagine it.”

I wish I didn’t relate to McCullough so much. And I wish that quote up there didn’t sound so familiar. That’s why I have this fierce, personal connection to McCullough because she is me, and I am her. And it makes me want to leap across the screen and just protect her.
