Quote of the day

writing is that I was given almost total freedom to read

look at whatever I wanted. I wonder a lot about how my past experiences, particularly my negative childhood (home life and being severely bullied

my thoughts
my writing, though I should also note those things were far from the only thing that had an impact on me
my writing.
