I write the date down because to me it feels as though I should. I almost find myself wishing I would have at some point while I was writing the first nine parts of this autobiography. Some people might wonder why I don't just rewrite it, I would imagine, anyway.
The answer to that is partially answered in the summary of this novel thingy of mine. Sadly, I ran out of room, so this part was born.
The me that wrote those had his perspective, and the me of today has a very different one now. We grow, we change, our opinions change, our understanding of the world changes. Naturally, our perspective changes as well.
I respect the me of yesterday as much as the me of today, so the parts stay. Both perspectives deserve to be told. I've decided that in book format, the first nine chapters would be what I call "part one" and what I'm about to be writing and publishing will be "part two." This tiny chapter would sit between the two.
Part one was written in Indiana, part two is being written in Baltimore. Crazy how things change. My fiance of 4 years, Nate, sleeps soundly next to me, our orange furball, Wolfgang, is snoozing between us, Oliver Tree songs playing in my ears at full volume on a loop.
I'm 24, a psych major at a university online so I can still go to school despite my medical issues and everything those issues entail. Before moving here, my environment was just not the way I needed it to be for me to be able to attend an online university, maintain good grades so I don't get kicked out, and juggle the responsibilities that that environment came with.
I just want to say what my intentions are with all this. It's all for me. I share it with the world because quite frankly, I've heard "you should write a book" after telling people about my life far too often to not be doing this. I mean come on.
While my intentions are not to hurt anyone, I'm not interested in sugarcoating anything in my book. The way I see it, no one has to read it. I'm writing this for me. If you read it, great! I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, great! I hope you pick up a book you do like to read and enjoy it from beginning to end.
Drama is the last thing that should come from any of this.
