    People tend to mistake reading and writing with living passively. Words are actions. Language ignites thoughts and channels emotions. Each sentence written by a literary master is an act of rebellion against the intolerable inadequacies and the outrageous injustices of life. Contemplative reading and writing creates channels of empathy and decreases our sense of aloneness. Many liberating social movements trace their origins back to a heart-wrenching piece of literature.

    Telling our story enables a person to gain an enhanced perspective on life. I seek to employ the inherent vulnerability of narrative storytelling to discover how to live free of despair and anxiety, make an unconditional commitment to living a finite life without remorse and regret, and devote the remaining term of life to making a meaningful commitment to create a vivid testament that survives my physical demise.

    The more that I write the more vivid is my personal history of conducting a lonely battle with a demented self. The act of writing ramifies in my mind each episode in life that subtly altered my native composition. Writing my history in a narrative format allows me to perceive my extant life as a whole rather than as intervallic and disconnected happenings. Writing a chronological and episodic personal history enabled me to identify the thematic content of my unified personal story.
