Who am I?
I'm a mother first, writer last and everything else—somewhere between. Started writing when I was fifteen in a black dingy notebook. The world shunned its heavy back on me, so as not to lay my burdens on him, I decided to release my pains in this book.
Though my friends were few, writing was the only entity I believed I could truly open up to. To my surprise, my deepest thoughts were being read without my knowledge--it's funny how God works. So I ripped the pages and vowed to never write again. Kept the joy, turmoil, bitterness...anything I felt, I kept it inside until my Freshman year when I fell in love with him again--writing that is. I realized that he was not the one that betrayed me; should've been more careful of where I left my journal.
I have many stories to tell, the deepest...to be left for a day when I'm ready. I've been blessed with an amazing family and I am ultimately grateful for all that I have.
To my sisters, brothers, mentor and closest friends—I love you all; thanks for believing in me!
