About

Life is full of contradictions. I can spit the facts, but my heart – my bleeding heart that gushes uncontrollably – gets in the way. Always. Sometimes.

Ruled by my emotions, I’m forced to adapt to the contradiction: grounding myself in reality. The controllable. The matter of fact. External, not the internal.

But it’s so easy to bleed out entirely, and float away in my own oddly blissful puddle of stream-of-conscious diary.

I’m simple. I’m decadent.

I’m trying.

Sound interesting? I’ve been jotting it all down since I was 12 and received my first pink fuzzy journal with an embroidered “A” on it.

First Draft is about discovering the world within, and the world without. I’m spiritually inclined, rooted in curiosity of the soul and those I encounter, while my words flow from the heart.

First Draft is a stop along the way to self-discovery, self-contentment. Because I don’t have it all figured out. Yet I’m onto something. Grow with me, day by day, week by week.

Here I am. In all my flawed glory.

Practice makes perfect.
