[ BEHIND THE WRITING ... ]
My name is O.C. I'm 20-something, male, and I write as a form of catharsis and as a way to put into words the things I have experienced in my life. I am Autistic and Disabled. I adore cats, dragonflies, and the moon. I hope that when others read what I write, that it touches them in some way, or causes them to think from a new perspective.
I'm a lot of things. I'm plural. I'm mentally ill. I'm passionate about mental illness and listening to others who are mentally ill. I love questioning the world and its faulty infrastructures just as much as I love to goof off with someone. I believe we should be free to speak about the things that are less than savory, even though for me it's still a work in progress.
I am a victim of many things. It has shaped me into the person I am now. But it doesn't define me. I found myself in spite of the things that happened to me. Despite it all I still chose to be myself. That's why I was hated. But that hate is nothing in comparison to the freedom I gain in being me. I believe every person has a place in this world. Mother Earth is bountiful and endlessly gentle, but we need to show her respect to know it and to learn the beauty ourselves.
I am imperfect; and I'm always prepared to put down my ego to learn something new. Knowledge is something no one can ever take from you. You will always have that strength. If you read this and don't see these things reflected in yourself, I have faith that someday you will find it, and yourself. Your journey is winding but this only means the twists and turns will greet you with what you truly need. Just as it will for me&.
