Painful Projection

"I use the lens of story to craft my own self-narrative of pain and perseverance. Sometimes it's easier to deal with what life throws at me by shifting the narrative and turning it into writing. It helps me process. I take a look into the future of a terrible possibility of what could be, alongside what I'm doing now to prevent that future. Pain is an interesting thing when you've lived with it your whole life; it's familiar and novel at the same time. I look at the view of hopelessness, confusion, and uncertainty, then turn it to comedy."
