Peter Straub Quote
When my childhood began coming back to me, I went off the rails for a bit. I became what you could charitably call colorful. After a year or so of disgrace, I remembered that I was thirty-odd years old, no longer a child, that I had a calling of a kind, and I began to heal. Either childhood is a lot more painful the second time around, or it's just less bearable. None of us are as strong or as brave as the children we used to be.
