Deciding to share some of my more intimate thoughts with the world is not easy. It wasn’t until the Coronavirus pandemic, that the feeling of being trapped and isolated in my own world ignited the desire to scream onto the pages. In this case, all of my shouting is done by typing on my computer. The result is a new type of catharsis that I keep coming back to again and again.
A great poet once said to me that people aren’t voiceless. They have a voice. We just aren’t listening. Honoring that advice, I’ve been finding my own each day, and feel it is my duty to share it with the world.
