I have no gift for storytelling, but I understand that Truth may be more easily conveyed through fiction. Intentionally or not, it’s so easy to mythologize our personal narratives, and present ourselves through the limited voice of some self-consciously wrought persona. Even when the audience is only in our minds.
If I portray myself as something other than a complex and common and often conflicted goofy-ass, I hope you see through it; because we are alike, and I see through you. Take yourself seriously at your own peril, because if I’m not laughing with you...
