Twenty sixteen was a very strange and unusual year for me (and mainly the main focal year for this journal), and it was a bit scary. This experience got me thinking of writing some parts of it and doing it a little bit differently than my other stories and journals by combining the two and adding a few other things. It will have some snippets of my life experience from what I can recall and hash back—maybe going back farther than 2016 to tie it all together—and give an update of my life now. Then I put in a journal for poems in between, which I will put in the beginning, middle, and some or most in the end of this short story journal / poem book. Enjoy, and I hope you are able to jot down your thoughts on this and that. It will help you if you yourself are also fighting the darkness to get back to the light.
