It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
So how did we get here?
Well this actually started a long time ago.
A place where I would write openly, without notice, just a corner of nowhere; I would purge my thoughts, my feelings, my musings.
Over time, I killed it, feeling it was too personal or too exposed.
But I have been inspired to resurrect this old project.
New life, new pains, new thoughts, all part of this human experience.
If you found this by accident, then keep it to yourself, these musings aren’t meant to see the light of day.
They only exist to prove I was here.
Breadcrumbs to a heart long forgotten and a place best left abandoned.
Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.
—Truman Capote, Breakfast At Tiffany’s
