I was happy with the PLO story.

Try as I might though I can’t seem to find the courage to push the parts of me that are hidden from others to the forefront. The best I’ve been able to do is offer up some sort of encrypted version of myself in my ponderings about my role in the universe. Perhaps this points to a deeper problem of not truly knowing myself. Polonius would not be happy. :) As he said to Hamlet “to thine ownself be true.”
