When I was an undergrad at Stanford, there was a girl named Jennie Kim who worked for the school newspaper. Sometimes people would come up to me and talk to me about articles she had written. 'That one on getting a Brazilian was hilarious', some guy said, high-fiving me.

As a child, I would go days without speaking, and then suddenly I would scream until everyone was looking at me.

I know I am not the first woman to ask this, but how can I be both damaged and loveable? How do I become the protagonist of a story?
