"Insight From the Mind of an Eighteen Year Old" is a very short piece of writing that I've written with the hopes of inspiring others to chase their dreams and be motivated.

"there always has to be night before day, but the day eventually comes every time. dark times will always come throughout life, but overcoming them will only create a brighter future."~

Rowan went rogue on a hack one day, and the marsh swallowed up the pony and trap, right at the day's eve.

I'm just here for fun and to write like I know what I'm doing. I'm just a hormonal girl with barely enough inspiration to actually write but why not give it a try? This is purely and entirely about stuff in my head, it is by no means classified as a story or something along those lines. If you don't like reading about opinions or thoughts of another person then this isn't for you and that's entirely ok!

As a convict I decided that I would not fall victim to the stigma " Institutionalized" so even though the keys were concealed to confine my physical body, the only real key was crafted and sharpened thru determination to open the door without the door bring open.. Allow me to take you this journey, cause if reality meets fate it wasn't a mistake or coincidence you found this page. So without further a due but long after due I bring to you " Addicted and Outwitted" By Marco Graydon
