Returning to Oneself
This post won’t be like most of the written sketches in the “Personal Stories in the Third Person” series. It won’t be a complaint, a whine, a mockery of situations, or a retelling of fictional stories. I want to ask you honestly a question that seems to have been nagging at me my whole life.

Love me easily.
When I was little, I grew up believing that the most beautiful and strongest relationships are usually the most difficult ones—the ones with the most twists and turns.
