    It's said to write well, write what you know. Never would I have believed myself to be so bold if someone had told me I would be writing these words as I once experienced them. I've learned a lot in my life. But the one constant has always been love whether I've chased after it or learned to embrace it for myself. Sometimes it meant just learning to love myself so that others could love me and cherish me in the same way that I did them. During my darkest times I never fully grasped that I was Love. It is the very essence of my being. Something far more profound than anything I have ever looked for outside of myself. So this is my journey. My story in poetry and prose. Why I am the way that I am; filling these pages in one book of many. These feelings and passions I share with you are the hopes of something greater than what this heart and soul have experienced to date. And maybe in a way, this will give others hope or a purpose for their life that they may have missed. It's hard being open and vulnerable in a world full of judgment and fake. Yet here I am. The writings of this flesh; the expression of heart and soul. One of Life, Love, Great & Unfortunate Things.
