Bad dream Quote by Annie Baker
““I will say that meeting him was like walking out of a dark wood. He's not perfect and I'm not perfect and we have our hard times but I remember moving towards him through Terminal 4 and it was like emerging from the cold and into the sun. Like waking up from the bad dream that was my life before him. And all the confusion and fear and self-hatred that I'd always felt in the presence of other people... I was shedding it like a skin. The spell had ended. And I remember thinking: everything is possible. If this is possible, anything is possible.””
