The abundance I possess is the inventory of my life experiences. All of them – good and evil, sitting there in my memory. Each experience has left an emotional residue on my psyche, causing me to sense a wide range of feelings, from shame and guilt to pride and joy. They are energy, yearning for expression, understanding, healing, and resolution. They can’t be silent, even after decades of ignoring them. I’m pushed to write, to expose my screaming demons for others to read, hoping to make sense and find peace.

I find this dialogue inside me needing to be witnessed in form. So I put it on the page. I fine tune it. I try to make it concise without losing the emotion that birthed it. I don’t always share it. It is me validating myself. I was here. I felt, a lot.
