Before I came here, when I didn't think about things as much as I do now,
I occasionally had the feeling that I didn't belong to Momsy, Pim and Margot and that I would always be an outsider.
I sometimes went around for six months at a time pretending I was an orphan.
Then I'd chastise myself for playing the victim, when really, I'd always been so fortunate.
After that I'd force myself to be friendly for a while.
Every morning when I heard footsteps on the stairs, I hoped it would be Mother coming to say good morning.
I'd greet her warmly, because I honestly did look forward to her affectionate glance.
But then she'd snap at me for having made some comment or other, and I'd go off to school feeling completely discouraged.
On the way home I'd make excuses for her, telling myself that she had so many worries.
I'd arrive home in high spirits, chatting nineteen to the dozen, until the events of the morning would repeat themselves
and I'd leave the room with my schoolbag in my hand and a pensive look on my face.
Sometimes I'd decide to stay angry, but then I always had so much to talk about after school
