Curate, connect, and discover
Understanding is but the sum of our misunderstandings.
— Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart
I hated you for a long time. From the time I was little, I used to think that I didn't belong in such a miserable little place, that I was someone who deserved to be in more comfortable circumstances. I felt it was unfair for you to treat me as you did. My classmates all seemed to be living happy, satisfying lives. Kids whose gifts and talents were far inferior to mine were having much kore fun than I was every day. I used to seriously wish that you were not my father. I imagined that this had to he some mistake; you couldn't possibly be my real father; there couldn't be any blood relationship.

I'm a coward when it comes to matters of the heart. That is my fatal flaw.
