I've had it suggested to me that my writing is sometimes too personal.
Another person told me that my stuff was sometimes, "T.M.I."
I don't want to sound like an asshole when I say this, but I don't know another way to write. If, at the end of the day, the only thing I can say about my writing suggests something in the way of truth and honesty, then I will feel as though I have succeeded.
I don't think that a writer can call him or her self a writer if he or she doesn't write from the heart.
I do, and I hope that those that think they love me recognize that.
I also hope they recognize that life -- the inside shit, the nuts and grains of the mind's and the soul's inner workings -- represent a body of water.
You're always susceptible to the weather, to the storms, and to the calms.
You are what you are; you feel what you feel.
Life is real. It's joyful. It's hard. It's a mixed bag.
Every day I recognize -- in different and fleeting moments -- that there are things about myself and my life I wish I could change and then I remember that I'm thankful for who I am, what I've been, and what I will become. Neither feeling cancels the other. They're just there.
