My Book
I'm writing a book about my life. I never considered myself a *writer* but I do have at least 10 journals so I have a lot to say, right?
Thinking back over my life, first I remembered all the happy times. I was a happy kid. (Kids are resilient, they can handle a lot of pressure...at least I could.)
Then I looked at my life with adult eyes and thought, wow I really had a lot of experiences.
I think people like to talk and read about the fluff. Things that are feel-good, like Christmas and happy times. But how often are people willing to talk about the not so fluffy things in their lives? I believe that talking separates a victim from a non-victim. A non-victim is willing to acknowledge the truth with honesty.
I will be honest in my book because I have nothing to hide. Everything I say will be true and is a fact to me. I will also state solutions in my book. I don't want to just put my life out there with all the crap and stuff, because today my life is good. I want to write about how my life got good, and the journey of discovery it took to get there.
