Assumptions are Usually Incorrect
We often disregard a person’s entire story. We make assumptions from videos, articles, and quotes. A person’s life is rarely fully known. Mine is not.

One of the “WHY’S”of my life

The Miracle of Loving Each Other Through Pain
A realization has hit me, especially recently. A belief that I hold true but know with my all. We have come to hand our own souls and livelihood to others. There are concepts that have disappeared from our societal belief system: miracles, the healing power of love. These things are all a pipe dream if… Continue reading

The Pursuit of “Impossible” Dreams
Many people know well of my pursuit of my dreams.It is not an attempt to somehow prove my worth to the entire world. It is for MYSELF. I spent most of my life in a state of misery and did not feel as though achieving anything at all was possible. At age 23, I found… Continue reading

I have found inspiration and love in unexpected places recently. It is not coincidence for me to have begun writing again recently.I have always been a writer. Since childhood. At some point in my life: I lost courage. To speak. Because I didn’t believe I had a voice. Because I felt invalid. Because I believed… Continue reading
