My first book has a very simple moral that people who are spared a traumatic childhood, though not always as sentimental or emotional, aren’t as broken, and that ripples into their lives. One doesn’t want to feel like the world has let them down or it owes them something. I try to not ask for a whole lot. It isn’t about life being easier or harder, it is just having the tools to handle when life is hard, or how to stand on your own two feet when you’re alone because you know that you aren’t. I’ve lost very sentimental things that can not be replaced.
