Writing has opened up areas in me that I never knew I had. I believe that each person is more than the sum of his/her parts. I admire quirky characters who go against the grain of society. I am the same way.
Today I passed by a single room occupancy hotel while riding the bus. I imagined myself staying here without many amenities a more upscale hotel would have. I find myself having the down andout as friends and neighbors. Listening to their stories, I find the humanity in each one of them.
Writing should help us to become better human beings. I don't apoogize for the quirks and queerness of my life. Perhaps my heart and his/her heart see each other as wayfaring strangers.
