" You know what the issue is within this world? Everyone wants a magical solution to their problems and everyone refuses to believe in magic."
Lewis C. Carroll
My romance with literature started with the introduction to the authors. Writers tell you who they are, what they love, what they fear, and what their dreams are when their pen touches paper; it is the best relationship I've ever had. I struggle with honesty, I live in fear of judgment and criticism all the time. I fear people think I'm boring, uninteresting, stupid, and ugly inside and out. The only safe place I've ever had is in my journals. Judgement-free zone, safe place. A few years back my life was turned upside down I suffered two traumatic losses within hours of each other. In a moment of absolute devastation, I fell through the rabbit hole and emerged on the other side a different person. I let tragedy and loss change me, for the better and for the worse.
