This Rocco

I am walking on cloud nine at this moment. I just got my first invitation to a friend’s party. Alex is having his bar mitzvah and a party afterwards. I am giddy.

All those years sitting vacuously inside myself are in the past. I am never going to fully get over the difference between my pre-spelling life and now. It’s like there are two entirely different people named Rocco. And that Rocco lived in the dark. 

This one lives in sunlight every day. 

I am a Rocco who talks and tells jokes and gets invited places.
