Why I Write: Introduction

 

    By the time you read this, 35 years of my life have already passed.  I lost most of my family, been through several traumatic events, and nothing is how I expected it would be.  My generation lived through a pandemic and the terror that is Donald Trump...I digress.  Even though I could have easily ranted right there, I fought the urge by typing away on my laptop. 

    For a long time, I contemplated writing about my life.  My reasoning was that sharing my experiences with the world would both help me heal, as well as inspire others who might be going through a rough patch.  However, my mind did its usual thing, and was taunting me asking, "Who would want to read this?  What's the point?  Why write?"  By the time you finish reading everything I have to say, you should be able to answer all of these questions.  If not, I am sorry that I have failed you and not met YOUR expectations.
