I want the coming-of-age readers to enjoy nostalgia, to think of my work as providing a comfortable escape from the present into a simpler time

Ultimately your brand is a statement to the world telling everyone who you are, what you produce, and possibly what you’re attempting to accomplish – humour, insight, social commentary etc. Whether or not you set out to create one, if people know you at all, they will come to perceive you in some manner or other. Your objective is to align their perception with how you want to be perceived.

I just want to write, I will write as I feel, as I see, as I hear, as I know and most importantly as I experience

I have a lot to tell. Pretty funny that I have just said that. For the longest time I believed that I had nothing interesting to say, that my life wasn’t as exciting as people thought. But I see that now, I have a pretty damn interesting life. From my childhood to my newly acquired adulthood. My stories will be both happy and sad. I’m looking forward to have you laugh with me, cry with me and hopefully encourage and give hope where I can as I tell my stories and document my life.

Our world is so bonkers right now, especially my country. Who else is tired of the overused phrases “unprecedented times”, “new normal”, or God forbid the horrid word “vote”? So let’s just move away from them and talk of other things. I for one am up for it, are you?

The question I cannot help but ask is if they truly “lived happily ever after” or they are just happy to settle for something that is less than the total misery that had smothered their hopes out of existence in the first place

Are they just so lost that any sliver of light is enough to go on? Maybe “happily ever after” for them is just getting out. Maybe “happily ever after” had nothing to do with the prince and just implied that there were able to move past the trauma in their soul or possibly they finally just let it swallow them up and lost who they ever were to begin with.
