Caught between what should've been and everyone's idea of who I should be, I had to find myself again. That was easier said than done with an interfering, overbearing family like mine. I told myself I was done rescuing my irresponsible sister, but when I flew across an ocean to help her one last time I didn't realize it would lead to my own saving. It was when I gave in to desire and gave up my past, that love taught me just what could come from letting go.
