ABOUT ME

I’ve never blogged in my life. I was always good at expressing my feeling on paper. Why it took me so long to realize that I am not alone in overcoming adversity, I have no answer for that. Everyone has a different story and different paths they traveled to overcome their situation(s). I’m not sure exactly why I decided that blogging might be a good idea, then I remembered that someone told me that I should write down how I am feeling. Thinking about what they said I thought, what good is it to write it down if I can’t share it with anyone.
