I write to a blind audience who doesn't know me and will never have to. They pick and choose whether or not there's wisdom in the experiences I write about and are welcome to offer the solace of their own if they find it applies. Response from total strangers have always been the most eye-opening and provocative in the writing all these years, and I welcome it.
I'm trying, still trying, to be an important part of the world.
I am officially broke. I do not know how to pay for the next bill. Something as simple as lunch will take a few minutes to decide on whether its more economical to "skip."
