NOTICE
This journal is my personal views and a snipped of the stories I wish to share with the world. I make every effort to ensure that they will not upset people; however, there may be times when you and I will not agree on a particular subject. Know that I respect that, and I hope you will too.

Additionally, be it known some posts are in their most raw form, and you will find spelling and grammar mistakes, it’s just part of who I am.
