Broken
I take pride in the broken.
Is that because I myself am broken?
From a young age I always had this desire to fix those I thought needed fixing.
Is that because when I fix something, I feel as if I am fixing myself?
We are always told that you can not save the world.
That you can not help everyone and everything.
But what if you can be the world, someones everything, in that moment?
There is this kind of serenity in knowing someone is broken.
That someone needs you; if only for a moment.
Is that why I seek people in need of fixing?
When in reality I should be fixing myself.
Are we not all broken in someway?
Walking through life waiting to be fixed.

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
