Difficult things

I came to India to learn more about my father's life. I discovered that the way to do that was to talk about my own life. It is difficult to ask someone to share things that are intimate about themselves or their family. My father's aged sister, who looks so much like him, is not used to disclosing or discussing such things. Like most other people, she prefers to only share the Disney version of the story of my father.

Tonight I told her about my life. It was not easy, but it was good. I shared the real version and I felt lighter.
