Writing an elongated series of personal essay opens a person's mind to explore paradoxes and discover previously unrealized personal truths. Writing is as arduous as any trek into the wilderness. Every sentence takes a writer deeper into the jungle of the mind, a world of frightening inconsistencies created by our waking life's desire that the world of chaos conform to our convenience."
