Purpose

As a child, I developed a passion for reading and writing. My passion was so great that I excelled at learning to read and write and by the age of four I was scribbling little notes anywhere I could. When asked in Kindergarten what I wanted to be when I grew up without hesitation I answered, "An author."
I am so far from being that young girl filled with hope and confidence certain of the trajectory of my life. As an adult, I am uncertain to whether or not I will ever be an author or if I should even pursue that dream. But what has remained is the need to write. I write to better understand myself, what I am feeling, thinking, and what changes I need to make. I feel the need right now in my life to be writing about the journey of discovery that I am engaged in. I feel the need to put into words my perspectives, my introspection's and my feelings. I write because that is what I do and what I have always done to better understand who I am and what makes me, me.
