As a child, I would run away from the beatings, from the obscene words, and always knew that if I could run far enough, then any leaf, any insect, any bird, any breeze could bring me to my true home.

But I have been emotionally crippled by this. There is nothing romantic about being young and angry, or even about turning that anger into art.

When my family threw me away, every human on earth did likewise.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Wendy Rose" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wendy-rose/i-have-always-swung-back-and-forth-between-alienation-and-relatedness/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/71f/wendy-rose-69540_alien-nation_i-have-always-swung-back-and-forth-betwe_1759653.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/71f/wendy-rose-69540_alien-nation_i-have-always-swung-back-and-forth-betwe_1759653.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/71f/wendy-rose-69540_alien-nation_i-have-always-swung-back-and-forth-betwe_1759653.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I have always swung back and forth between alienation and relatedness.
