and it seems that too many people seem to view this blog with skepticism - as if it were the reflection of an estrangled kid lost in the real world. my response is simple. this blog reflects the true experiences of my life and within the totality of that experience encompasses hurt, pain, falls and bruises, anger, disappointment. if one expects to merely read about joy and happiness then it defeats the purpose of writing. the beauty in writing is that of the suprises along the way, the joys blended with pain, making one more thankful for the moments of joy along the way amidst the hurt. a life of complete happiness only happens in fairytales.
