Every contradiction presents a choice, yet life is never about the answers. There comes a day when you feel you can't go on living this way. When that day suddenly arrives, I begin to look back on my not-so-long life. My mother had a twin sister. They were born on April Fools' Day and married on the same day in April, embarking on divergent paths. My mother married a man who loved freedom and lived without constraints. Only after marriage did she discover he was an alcoholic who frequently vanished. He has now been missing for five years. My mother raised me and my younger brother by selling socks and underwear at the market.
