Tina Mack

Tina Mackiewicz is just an ordinary mother of two and wife of one who has dreams. I decided to make those dreams come true by writing a book and getting it published. I’ve written poetry since I was sixteen years old (possibly even before that). I have lived in CT now for 20 years now. I was born in Martinsville, VA and traveled half the world by the time I was 9 years old. I’ve had numerous jobs in many areas and feel that that part of my life has been afflicted by borderline personality disorder but I wouldn’t trade the experiences I’ve had. They have helped me grow into the person I am today which can relate to a wide variety of people.

Intro

So you are probably curious what this book is all about? It is about what it is like to be me at times. I’ve been writing since before I was 16 years old. I’ve lived a lot of places, had a lot of jobs and numerous relationships. All typical signs of a person with borderline personality disorder. I’d love to tell all instances but unfortunately you will only see a few. I don’t know if the world is ready to have a dose of reality stuffed in their face.

Someone as simple as myself, that someone that is a no one, can actually write a book? What has the world come to? Actually, I wanted to share some advice with others about the mistakes I’ve made. I want people to know that they are not alone in their everyday struggles and sometimes you just have to realize that things could actually be worse.

I wanted to finish something that I started, for once. I’ve had so many ideas and plans to do things and somehow they never seem to get finished. Well, this is one project that I want to be able to say that I finished. That might not seem like that much, but for me it is. This book will be an accomplishment of a goal on my bucket list.

Dedication

Who am I dedicating this book to? My kids. I want to leave them something that can be memorialized. I want to leave them something worth talking about. I want to leave them with something to remind them that dreams can come true, if you help them along the way. They are so dear to me. They’ve helped me learn how to love and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you boys!

Foreword

So, I decided to write a book. Ha Ha! Pretty funny. You actually want to read my thoughts? You’re not scared? Ok then… brave one… read on.

I have a totally different beginning already started but I wanted to try something different. I want to see if I can keep you reading. I want you to be interested in what I have to say. I’ve written a lot of material over the years and would like to share some of those poems and moments in time. Just random thoughts that go through my head and question my sanity. But, I know that I can’t be the only one out there that asks questions about our current state of being.

There are so many different types of phenomena occurring it is hard to follow it all. Having earthquakes and tornados on a frequent basis. The weather is changing all the time. Children are growing at an accelerated rate. War is on the rise. The feeling of needing to finish unfinished business is at an all time high. Want me to keep going?

It is no coincident that you are reading this still. It’s called the power of intention. I simply said what I wanted in the beginning of this statement and you listened. Wouldn’t it be great if life was always like that? Some people call it fate and some may say it’s magic. They say you drive your own destiny. If that is the case, then changes will happen in the near future. We have to prepare ourselves for this venture.

The important thing is YOU are becoming aware. Although, you can’t undo your past you CAN make decisions about your future.
