Being Erica

Erica: Remember that little fishing boat from The Perfect Storm, how it climbed up that endless wave hoping to reach the top and cruise down the other side to safety? That's me. But just like that fishing boat, I can't seem to quite crest that wave. So if you're in the water and the waves keep smacking you down, what do you do? Sometimes you manage to soldier on; clutch the steering wheel and face the storm. But other times, you look around and see the situation clearly - you're going to drown.
