Coming Out of Silence

“I lived in a silent abyss until I was almost eighteen years old. I endured years of yearning, countless hours of desolation, until facilitated communication rescued me.”
“Accustomed to living in the abyss, coming up to the light was hard. Beset by memories, I am still terrified. Terrified that I might go back there. If FC were taken away from me, that is where I would be.”
