I love to write. I always have. There’s something about hearing words in your head and moving them out that is therapeutic and empowering.<\/p>\n

I find I don’t write enough. I recently finished school and have found joy in reading the books\u00a0I<\/em> want to read, learning the things I’ve been too busy to learn, and writing the things I want to write. I’ve been writing more recently, and have rekindled my love for writing – just writing. I’m hoping something comes of it, but I’ve accepted the fact that most of it will be garbage. Not throw away or burn garbage, but hoarder, wonder why I didn’t get rid of that garbage.<\/p>\n

Who knows what this will turn into, but I’m excited.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a few things to direct my writing energy towards: this blog, two other websites I’m working on (links coming soon) and a children’s book. The book is especially exciting because it’s all in rhyme. I love poetry. Here’s how it starts:<\/p>\n

Life is wonderful, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
