I've been having a tough time with constructing a personal narrative essay. There are times where I'm over complicating simple concepts. Hopefully someone here can help me bridge the gap. I have my in intro and thesis statement. Here it is.
(intro)When I was young, I was always active, and felt the need to be doing something at all times instead of sleeping. (thesis statement)Little did I know that the transition from sleep deprivation to an actual sleep routine would change my life forever; this provided the most valuable lesson in my development as a person.
I have a few topic sentences that I would like to use to set the tone for each paragraph. Here are the topic sentences.
1.) The blackhole that I created from refusing to sleep started to grow each day.
2.) Hands of addiction pulling me away from the life I never knew I needed.
3.) Downfall of things I once valued most of all.
4.) (Conclusive topic sentence) Sleep deprivation is a masked silent killer, potentially causing irreversible damage to your life. People need their rest not only because it feels great, but for their overall health.

Now I'm not to familiar with a personal narrative essay. I'm mainly trained in the academic style of writing.
However what I can say is that for now I feel as though, you're worrying about technique more than execution. Editing exists for this very reason.
Write a draft then look at what you can cut out and what can stay. I would say just to add a twist, write your introduction from the present:
'It took forever for me to lose the weight on my shoulders. I now know what life is like after you go to the light at the end of the tunnel'
'My own darkness was a result of....'
One paragraph one idea but each should lead into the other
I hope this helps, all the best

When writing any text within the framework of academic writing, its peculiarities should be taken into account. Thus, a scientific text as a basic model of academic writing should have a simple structure, consisting of an introduction, a body and a traditional conclusion.
The introductory part briefly reveals the topic, acquaints the reader with the progress of the matter.
In the main part, the author turns to scientific research. Examples of such parts can be read https://paperap.com/paper-on-the-significance-of-the-research-proposal/ there are good essays here. on the topic and sets out his own vision of the problem being studied.
In conclusion, conclusions are drawn, further prospects of the issue under study are outlined, and forecasts are made.
When constructing sentences using special terminology and professional abbreviations of terms, the author must understand for which audience he is writing. When reading, there should be no questions left, and the topic should be fully disclosed and understandable.

One thing that worked for me was to relate experiences I've had in life to stories I've read. I wrote a personal essay in relation to a story from Giacomo Casanova's Histoire de ma vie, about a tailor's apprentice who Casanova meets in Rome. I purchased a voice over recording of the story in French.
A disclaimer that this essay is mature.
As a teen, during a break between classes in middle school, I watched as a young man wearing cargo shorts sat down on a high counter, his legs dangling over the edge. He was talking with three young women, who surrounded him in a semi-circle. The red-haired, taller one of the women leaned into him, bracing herself with a hand next to his right thigh, which was splayed a bit wider from the other. With a flippant gesture of her fingers in the air between them, she said, with a grin, that he shouldn’t sit like that. He pretended not to understand her and had a dazed look, and went back to engaging in casual pleasantries about class activities and mutual acquaintances.
Similarly to Marcuccio’s interactions with Marguerite and Buonaccorsi, the young man’s polite, matter-of-fact conversation perhaps caused the young woman to feel a bit brushed off, yet also made him seem naive and easily misled; one may imagine this as a perverse challenge for the sexually experienced friends. In the story, his cold manner gives them the opportunity to draw him out by their own charms. Reluctantly perhaps, they act coy and demure in a way that hypnotizes him.
The women explain to Giacomo the seduction of them by Marcuccio in a straightforward fashion, one in which, in Iskra Vo’s vocal rendering, the shock and curiosity about Marcuccio’s large penis mixes with a kind of mischief about challenging him to see if he can handle his vitality in sexual play given such a large instrument. If this is a misperception of his health status, such a misperception about the differences of men have continued after Casanova’s time. On the podcast called “Girls on Porn”, one of the co-hosts apparently has discovered reports claiming that men with large penises, due to the amount of blood required for an erection, may sometimes become dizzy or lightheaded.
Surprisingly, Casanova is not hurt by the preference shown by Marguerite and Buonaccorsi towards the young man. I certainly have felt hurt at times when I hear women expressing their preferences for men, and I fall into the trap of comparing myself to an imagined standard of masculine virility. At the same time, seeing and hearing a woman animated in all her features by desire is a turn-on for me.
For some years Kink.com gained ownership of a former military structure, the San Francisco armory, where it had a program of sex, fetish, and intimacy workshops. At one such workshop on group sex, the instructors, two men and one woman in towels, talked through questions around consent, negotiation, and expressing desires before an audience. As they dropped their towels and began to stimulate and caress each other, I noticed that one man’s penis was considerably smaller than the other’s, and as the evening progressed, it was rare to see him with a full erection. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the woman explored and played with them both with gusto. They all seemed to have a friendly affection for each other, and had delight in the charms of how they each expressed, through body language, their vulnerabilities and intimate yearnings. If one man seemed to bring more enthusiasm and energy to pleasuring her, it spurred on the other all the more. Because this wasn’t photographed or recorded, perhaps there also may have been less concern to show off their best features or expressions.
In the same way, Casanova finds the example of Marcuccio in his gift of nature to renew his own expression of virility, perhaps with less shame and more lightness in playing with his own exhibitionism and ardent tributes to the beauty of the gathered company, one in which they each explore a garden of sensual delights through intuition, empathy, and imagination.
