"Here is what it is like to be me, to face what I faced, to lose what I lost."
I felt that this quote identified with the essay I wrote for class last week. I saw it as a snapshot of my childhood in relation to those I shared it with. At times I felt that it was skimming the surface with silly stories and unimportant details about growing up with my brothers, but the sense of belonging I craved was an accurate representation of what I wanted then and where it took me.
The idea of loss is not as relevant to my essay. However, over the years change has led me to lose certain aspects of the relationship. If I had chosen to expand on the essay chronologically it could illustrate the concept of loss more clearly through showing what is lost as you mature and grow and how my realtionship with my brothers has evolved.
