BLACK EYE

In a series of poignant tales, I recount the vivid snapshots of my life, each marked by an overwhelming sense of embarrassment. The journey begins with a startling discovery in a preschool portrait—a stark black eye glaring back at me, an enigma begging for explanation.

Another chapter unfolds around the distressing ordeal of being unable to swim, a crippling fear that led to a harrowing incident, tearing my arm asunder. The agony of that moment was eclipsed only by the overwhelming embarrassment that held me back from seeking help, leaving me stranded in a tumult of shame.

These narratives peel back the layers of my formative years, delving into the deep-seated implications of such experiences. Each episode is a testament to the weight of embarrassment and its profound impact on my upbringing, inviting introspection and exploration into the tangled web of emotions and lessons learned along the way.
