My greatest friends have indeed been my pencil and paper. I thank them tremendously for always having my back even when so called friends and lovers didn't. All of the anguish that I have encountered throughout my life has definitely set the stage for my writings. Additionally, taking a literature class in college also opened my world to the power of poetry and creative writing.
