"I remember, as a kid, I used to walk down the street, twenty or so paces behind my mother, so that people would think I was an orphan. I wanted to believe it myself. Not because I wished my parents dead or anything, but more because orphans were tough. They could handle anything. And because I wanted to be free, from this emotional chain reaction that seem to be sparking off like a string of firecrackers since the day I was born.
I felt that again, only now, I didn’t have to pretend. It was real. I was 21 – an adult, and an orphan at last."
-- from the movie The Hottest State
