Pens and Pavement

I started writing for more reasons than I can remember. Whether it to say something, to say nothing, or simply to clear my mind of random thoughts or ideas. Sometimes, I write with purpose, sometimes with perplexity, sometimes for silence, sometimes for simplicity. I learned later in life that writing was my escape, my pause button, my outlet. It became my podium and the confession booth, my secret garden of sorts. Sometimes it was easy to write, sometimes it was very hard. I found my inspiration and my hindrances in the ups and downs of my life's journey. What you're about to read is simply a collection of experiences all my own that I have chosen to share with the world.
