Today we have a first: a Personals essay written by our executive editor, Jesse Sposato, who usually oversees this very section, bringing in revealing and emotional essays from a wide array of writers around the world. This one — which is part of a bigger collection she’s working on about coming of age — is, well, very personal, and just in time for Valentine’s Day. Click play above to listen to an original audio version of this piece, narrated by Jesse herself, or head here to read the story. —Narratively co-founder Brendan Spiegel
