I suppose this is a space for writing

Writing. It's this thing that I once did for fun. Then I did it for school. Recently I've been doing a bit of it for work. What's missing is the fun part. When I started writing here I was all excited, hopeful, ready for anything! I am now working in mental health. I don't even do the really hard work with people, just research, and it's exhausting, I have to say. We are working on a couple of projects now that will attempt to bring better, more person-centered care to those who have literally been left in the gutter to rot. That however, is not why I'm here. I'm here to talk about writing. About how important it is to use your words. My son is about to turn 14. How insane is that? He asked me what he could possibly get me for xmas and I said "dude, write something for me." Simple! And it should be simple. Words bring us together, allow us to understand little pieces of one another that would otherwise go unnoticed. It's important that we see those glimpses. It's imperative. We need one another. Let's do this man.
