Steena Marie's 3rd response to "IN MY FATHER'S CLOSET: A MEMOIR LIGHTS THE CORNERS OF MY MIND"

In this episode, Steena Marie and I discuss the importance of saving things you have written in the past. You never again feel the way you did when you wrote them. So when you're in it, it feels like a bleeding heart. When you look back you see how hopeful you were, the struggle between wanting to be optimistic and wanting to see the best in everyone while attempting to make the most of your situation. 

Once we get to 'enough is enough, and I'm done being optimistic about this situation or ef this I'm done' we can look back and see how much effort we put into a relationship in order to make it right. We concluded that we are both complex women, and yet simple things give us great joy. 

Steena really enjoyed this particular line from my memoir: "I may be a complicated person, but I really want very simple things."
