About Me

I created this blog website to inspire and encourage others. I've been a writer for some time but never took my writing seriously enough to have anything published until 2020, when I started writing online platforms such as Medium and Quora. People appreciated my advice and willingness to open up about my own life.

Despite a relatively privileged upbringing. I endured some difficult life experiences as an adult. I've been homeless. I've had to get groceries at food pantries. I've had my car repossessed and had to walk an hour to my job because it wasn't on the bus route. I've had to sell almost all my belongings to pay rent. I've had to live with some serious consequences from terrible decisions I made out of naivete, desperation, and otherwise bad judgement.

That was well over a decade ago. Since then, starting with my exit from an abusive relationship, I've made a slow but pretty steady improvement in my life. It has been anything but easy. I had burned a lot bridges, some of which could not be rebuilt. But experience can sometimes be the best teacher, and sometimes picking yourself up after falling, or tripping, or being pushed, is the best way to learn something. Even if you have to keep picking yourselft up over and over and over. Like me.
