So I squelched my ideas and creativity and relegated my mental explorations to weekends. [...] Barely using my intellect or creativity, I was bored at work and wanted more out of life than to just collect a pay check so I decided to pursue my Masters in Education. [...] When I was little I remember hearing the quote, “I think, therefore I am.” I honestly don’t remember who said it, nor did I think much about it at the time. [...] Truthfully, I’d gotten used to living life on the surface and my mom’s letters reminded me of the depths of myself, beckoning me to wake up and leave the zombie land I once again find myself in. [...] There are so many things that happened in my life that I thought I’d take to my grave, but now I want to tell you my story.
