I keep asking myself, “why am I writing?” “Why am I writing my story?” “What am I trying to achieve?” The answers to these questions change on any given day. So here’s my top 10 list.
1. It is cathartic.
2. It is easier to put my thoughts on paper than articulate them verbally.
3. If my story helps someone else suffering from RP even just for one second, then I have achieved success.
4. It helps fill an indescribable void.
5. It’s my silent confidant that does not judge and look at me with sad eyes.
6. It helps me keep things in perspective.
7. It gives me a venue to be mad and sad when I don’t feel like talking to anyone.
8. I enjoy writing and my eyes give me something to say…hence write about.
9. It’s an opportunity for my family and friends to virtually experience what it’s like to be walking on the edge of darkness.
10. Why not…

You are also writing this for your two beautiful boys. Who will some day need to understand what you went through and how much they meant to you. And to explain that profanity habit ;-)
