B R E A T H E: Thinking Out Loud

BREATHE... a journal

This blog is a preview for my memoirs. Sort of a journal. I like to post some of my ideas and inspirations here.

The journal has about 145 pages written so far and will also feature some of my artwork and pictures. Not a book. Not a comic book. CHAOTIC, like me.

As you can see, I am not writing in a typical format. The pages might look like poems but it's simply because I like things short and simple. Clean.

If you have ever experienced depression, you know that reading a book with pages filled with words is discouraging and you quickly lose interest...

BREATHE focuses on what I have learned and experienced so far, after the loss of my dad and the depression that followed.

I started writing to vent, but it has led me to knowing myself a bit better-- my limits, my dreams.

Things are brewing...

I am ready for a change

But so scared at the same time.

To some, moving away to another city,

another province,

even another country

takes no more time thinking about

than I, trying to choose a detergent at the supermarket.

Where do we draw the line

between an impulse decision

and wasting an opportunity?
