I don't know who said it to me. Maybe it was Via or Mr. Browne, or Summer. But someone once told me,...someone told me that quote "Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear." At first glance those words looked like another crappy old precept or something. But after a bit I realized those words were made for me. Up until a certain point my life was all fear. Fear of what people would say, fear of what people would do, fear of how I looked.
My name is Auggie or you can call me August. It doesn't really matter. What matters is the next party of my story. What comes after bullies and astronaut helmets, after nature reserves with movie nights, and after graduating fifth grade and then middle school. What happens next?
