How I Became Insane (An Insomniac's Tale)

By Robin Xavier Fontaine

My hereditary insomnia has finally caught up with me, and it's my destiny to suffer as others have before. With a little humor thrown in, the reader can glimpse what it's like for a person who is falling apart from protracted insomnia: Bit by bit, you find yourself becoming, not just exhausted, but actually quite unhinged as well - and the only reliable cure is unappealing to me, to say the least. What are my sisters going to say about me now?

Robin Xavier Fontaine

I was born and raised near Montreal, Quebec, midway through the baby-boom, the second of three daughters. (How I got the middle name Xavier is a story in itself.)I started out with a disability, and eventually became a differently-abled person. I have learned in my life that with the three H's, Hope, Humor, and Humility, life offers more than enough rewards.The branches of a tree grow upward and outward, yet in life, our branches can all come back together again in a great knot, and a new tree begins growing upwards - awkward picture, isn't it? Recently I have found tranquility, love, and inspiration, and so it's as though life is beginning all over again. I hope to share my optimistic disposition with my readers; to know your limits, yet hope and strive for your dreams, is what brings out our truest humanity.I now share a Twitter account with my old ex, Robert E Vonne - check out our tweets. @robinrobin55Peace and cheers!
