Vinny: I empathise with each and every honest confession or rather careful observations made by the writer. A part of me slipped away and feelings were like vortex. In the end , I couldn't even explaining what I was going through. But having my parents see through me, helped me out of it and now I feel like myself again and learning to shed away the patches it left on me.
