I’ve had three postcards published on PostSecret.

It took my divorce for my family to finally learn how to actually talk to each other respectfully, as adults.

I did not understand my first encounter with racism when it happened to me, because I was only eight years old, but now the memory fills me with rage and indignation.

Most good stories can be summed up in one sentence, but unless you’re Rahul, it only makes them seem depressive or poignant.
