It is easier to give up than to persevere.
But you are better than that. I'm better than that. Despite what life throws at you. I know a little bit about the adversity that can humble even the proudest of human beings. And that would be me.
Proud until I was humbled. Sure... I am to blame for many of my poor decisions... But not all of them.
I stopped writing when I lost my family. Separation followed by divorce. The creativity stopped. Self-loathing replaced it. Drowning my sorrows in alcohol. My reading stopped. My writing stopped.
Now... here I am... trying to come back. I have loved the written word since childhood.
Yet, I let my life, my circumstances, sabotage my love. Can I rebound? I don't know the answer to that question. But, I am going to try. And, from here on out on this blog, is my journey.
I hope you will join me - especially if you have been hit by as many fast balls as life has thrown at me.
My voice will ring true once I acknowledge my pain... my suffering... my reality.
That is the first step towards redemption.
