: About Me

An old soul making her way through this modern world full of neophyte souls. Dragon spirit with a twin sign, I move through people before they move through me. I have been writing since I was a little girl. More of a creative writer than a technical writer but can pretty much write anything. I came to Helium because I finally decided that under no means am I happy unless I am doing exactly what I want for a living. There are four things that I am passionate about besides writing. Dancing, my daughter, movies, and reading. My secondary passions are dogs, and entrepreneurial endeavors. Third is how people work. I am very Jane Austen in that I keep to myself and chose mostly a passive relationship with the outside world. The times I have been active, more drama than good has occurred. I live my life enthusiastically and mostly in my own head. Most people cannot relate to me, for my well probably runs deeper then most want and most people don't take the time to wind the crank and bring the bucket up to drink. The few that have found a friend for life. My writing took a back burner for many years, and now I have been using helium to get me back into the habit or writing everyday. So I hope you enjoy what I write and it encourages you to write more yourself!

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Your earliest memory

18 of 229

Memories are all that are left for you to hold in your heart. As life goes on, you forget many inconsequential things that occur, and what remains are things that had an impression or great impact on you. These are the things that make you who you are. Just how far back can you remember the impact of events in your life? Some studies reveal that cellularly we can remember memories from generations before us. There are also theories that transplant patients begin to have memories that are from their donors. Autism studies show that there is a link between autism and very early childhood mem...
