Writing is an effort to make sense of life.

One need not put up with unpleasant things. There are remedies after all.

Pantoja Hidalgo 'A Book of Dreams (2001)

I had to train myself to write under any circumstances or I would never write again.

The journal records the narrative now. And the tales retrieve the past.

Home is not just a place — it's a story we carry in our bones.

You are a product of your class, your religious beliefs, your political beliefs, etc. So I don't cringe, I stand by the stories.
