I’d rather be honest than impressive

About this blog

I’m Diego. I’m fifteen, just finished my first year of high school. Born in California, Italian by descent and raised in London since I was two weeks old. Two dads, three younger sisters. I swim competitively, I play French horn, I sometimes notice things that turn into questions.

This is where I’m going to try to write down a question that has been following me around. The shape of it is something like: I know how I came into the world, and I’ve always known. So why does it suddenly feel like I don’t?

I don’t have any answers yet. I’m using this summer to ask.

I’d rather be honest than impressive. So expect half-formed thoughts, things I don’t fully understand yet, and the occasional thing I think I do. If something here is useful to you, that’s a bonus — mostly I’m writing to think.
