This is my first diary/essay, so expect it to be disorganized, rambling and long-winded. I'm a complicated, long-winded person (500-word email replies, lol) and some(most) of what I'll layout here won't bear on the microcosm of today's events. But I feel energized enough to add my voice to this forum and share my perspectives accumulated along the way.
