Leila it must be amazing to read these diary entries as a mature person. I was heartbroken by your vulnerability as you dealt with changes in your family situation by inventing Godi—I just wanted to hug you. And I loved how, after coming home from Berkeley, you saw things more clearly. ‘If Berkeley taught me one thing, it was that this shit couldn’t go unchallenged!‘ And you know, I loved your father's ambition for you, because even though it was limited by his experience and outdated attitudes, it came out of his love. Thank you for sharing that.
Thank you for your very touching piece, Leila. The photographs you supplied of your diary pages added to the emotional impact of reading this. Godi sounded like a great ally. I'm left wondering: did you really lose Godi?
