I relied on waypoints in many video games, including halo, to navigate and to make sense of where I was supposed to go.

Most gamers depend on them. I played Ninja Gaiden, which is known for its high difficulty, and I became stuck, unable to reach the next area or finish the game because I was disoriented in the map, which felt like a maze.

I wrote a little more—only a tiny, itsy-bitsy bit.

Not across 365 straight days, but perhaps over ten years, and I thought about you the whole time while trying to stay composed.

"Keren's world problem":

They never invite Keren to weddings because they worry.

Or they ask her not to wear makeup and to keep a low-key appearance.

CNN Question:

"Keren, how many roses have you received for Valentine's Day over the years?

I'm really curious to know."

I sometimes worry that I have a negative influence on people.

I look around at my life and often feel that way.

Keren must have gotten over a 1,000 roses in her life
