crushed by her compositions: A Junior Self-Portrait Illustration by Michelle Rubinstein (2011)

Often I feel like I'm crushed by a pile of easy-reads with a pen left in my hand. While I love to help others and feel that I typically excel in understanding their perspectives, I sometimes fail to take care of myself. My friends are represented by thin books, for I've found that I can easily comprehend people in a short amount of time--similar to reading a short novel. Though this is often an advantage and can feel like a superpower, I become frustrated at how easy it can be to help people write their stories and how difficult it can be to write my own.
