I'm a writer, have been all of my life. My dream has always been to become a successful (published) author as well as a photographer. For years people have been trying to get me to try publishing some of my work but fear took over and I missed many opportunities, I'm sad to say. But no more.
Since I can remember what helped me escape from the horrors of reality have been writing, reading, art and music. This is my passion. I'm currently working on a fiction book as well as a photography book which I will be posting information about soon :)I'm a very opinionated soul and I'm not ashamed to stand up for what I believe in. This blog is probably going to be a vast mixture of random thoughts, opinions and personal writings but it will all be me. Even if I'm the one who reads this in the end, it will be worth it to see where I am was, and where I land.
I love all innocent and betrayed souls because I am one as well. I fight and have fought against injustices since age 14 and I will until I die. I believe this is reflected in my writings as well as some of my art pieces. While I tried to keep my opinions and my writings separate, in the end I found it to be impossible. My opinions are a great part of me. I don't expect everyone to agree and I'm not here to debate. I am here to share what I know as well as offer a caring ear to those in need.
Hmmm... About me...
I graduated from high school at 16 which gave me a head start at college. I have two degrees; one in legal studies, the other in psychology. I've tried to maintain 'normal' jobs but I can't. I can't betray who I am. I don't want to be another suit, I want to go after my dreams and my passions. I want to continue to grow spiritually (I'm Pagan). To be honest it makes me sad to see the world so empty. So many people spend the majority of their time away from their family and loved ones, designating maybe a couple weeks for a vacation here or there -but that doesn't make up for the absence felt all year.
People need to do what makes their soul soar and stay surrounded by those they love; those that lift them and inspire them; not strangers or colleagues. Sure it's great to have like minded people who work similar to you around, I just believe it is a tragedy that so many people spend more time with their colleagues or in a warehouse as opposed to being where they long to be.
Earlier I noted fear is the reason I haven't yet tried to publish any of my work. How did I get the fear to go away, is a question some people have asked me. I haven't, by any means. But my life has changed. I'm now at a place where I have nothing to lose. If I don't go after my life long dreams I'll be letting myself down and who knows what the future holds. I plan on trying, and trying again until success happens. I'm not the most confident person, but I no longer can let that or fear hold me back.
Sometimes it's best to just jump in. Thinking about it tends to make irrational fears worse, so just dive in. Not everyone will be on my side, I'm fine with that. It's always those who send me messages of kindness that deeply touch my soul in a place that no hate or negative mail could ever dream of reaching.
So, here I am. This blog is my journey as I work on becoming what I've dreamed of becoming all of my life; with rants and ramblings about any and everything that comes to mind. If you join me, I thank you greatly! :-)
