: About Me

Bubbly, optimistic and eternally fun. Writing is for me a good form of sharing my innermost fears, dreams, and sometimes frightening hallucinations. A form that allows me to be the genesis and the revelations of unique creations that I am at one and the same time removed from and yet an integral part of.
I have attempted and society says, I have consequently succeeded, in acquiring some formal education, including a B.A.(Hons)in English Studies, and an MBA (Marketing). What I truly enjoy of course is being involved in bringing smiles (or tears) to the faces of those who may accidentaly come upon my often wavering thoughts that may have been abducted and sequestered in one place at some point and think it worthy of their time. Well, for those who relentlessly and against better judgement, insist on seeking out my innermost thoughts commited to words, I have no regrets for whatever emotions or a combination thereof their unrequited attention imposes on them. Serves them right, I say.

Did you wish slow thinking never? Did you doubt fast decline ever? Awake from youth whilst youth abides For quickly it often doth reside And mindful not are legion Who soon cry, grasping With flailing hope At regaining The wasted The spent The nostalgic The lost forever. Catch it Embrace it Kiss it Squeeze the very life out of it. You own it but for a while Own it with pride. Youth. Did you think ...
