What propelled me to actually write about these events is the difficult part. Those years are in many ways a blur to me, and all these years later I still replay them in my mind. There is no better way to encapsulate and explore an event than to write about it. Beyond the concept of helping myself understand what happened, I know there are many people who either are surviving similar events or are trying to pick up the pieces. So it is my hope that sharing this work can help others likewise survive and find a way to keep going, while hopefully being a little entertaining in the process.(less)

For those who come from broken or distressed families, suffered abuse, abandonment, homophobia or any number of things tend to […]
