I Saw Her Differently

Every week, I write a new blog, or essay, whatever you prefer to call them. Sometimes I write about things I know. Sometimes I write about things I feel. Sometimes I write about things I learned. And sometimes I write about things I don’t know. This essay is going to be all of those. It's going to be very complex, but yet simple.
