I routinely scratch my head and feel puzzled over the way you view the world because it is so often very different from my own.<br /><br />I think Rosalind was not always this withdrawn, but her mother's death was a bigger blow to her than anyone imagined, and exacerbated any I-don't-fit-in-here feelings she may have already had.

That I'm a mystifying person. <br /><br />So I had to think for a long time about why I identify with Rosalind, so I could try to put it into words. Here's what I came up with (I hope I can express this properly, but no guarantees): <br /><br />I see Rosalind as someone who--like me--experiences what I canKatie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-4455626732211909982017-12-15T17:19:04.915-05:002017-12-15T17:19:04.915-05:00Thanks, Jessica!
