      About The Author

      Introduction

      There are so many emotions that we all can face in life. Many will face emotional challenges that others will never know. In this collection I bring forth a variety of those moments.

      I believe it is important to acknowledge all of our emotional journeys as valid and transcending. Our greatest changes as humankind come from our emotional crossroads and the decisions made in those moments.

      Some of the writings in this collection may seem dark emotionally, but they are meant to reflect a true moment in time faced by many. I feel it is equally important to acknowledge painful moments as well as joyful ones.

      I hope you enjoy the creative wordplay and the many stories within stories. I wish you all the best and hope one day we all transcend into our own true selves.

      The True Race of Life
