ME

I am 32 and love to write.  I really never considered writing before I moved to LaLa Land, and no, I am not a screenplay writer.  I guess I would call myself a miscellaneous writer.  I don't get paid to write except for the few cents I make writing on STEEMIT, great idea by the way.  I don't write because I want to be a great writer.  I write because I want to make people's life better, and the best way to make people's life better is through enlightenment.  Yes, a lot of people say ignorance is bliss, but I beg the differ.  I think in a lot of cases most people really don't know themselves.  Other than the man made ideas they identify with, they don't really understand why they act and think the way they do.  

LaLa Land

I went through a really difficult time with my business and the friends involved.  Once making serious money became a higher and higher probability, my friends started acting completely different.  They lied to me, manipulated me, and used me.  I don't know if you've ever been used by someone, buts it's a terrible thing to experience from friends you trust.  After I had to part from my friendships I fell into a mild to deep depression. I started questioning the world and the people in it.  Then I did something most people don't do.  I questioned myself.  I questioned my motivations, thoughts, and actions.  I really tried to understand why I had become the person I was.  As I bottled my anger and depression up I decided to use writing as an outlet.  This became therapeutic as I came to my epiphany.  I realized it was my environment that greatly influenced my behavior.  Yes, I am my own person as much as the next one, but truly understanding yourself and the world around you is the best enlightenment I ever experienced. 

Human Behavior

Most people don't really understand why they do what they do, they just do.  I realized that humans have been conditioned through the monetary system to consciously think a certain way.  Most people have no idea how the monetary system really affects them.  This ignorance puts people under a great deal of turmoil. 

 It took me 31 years to figure it out.  After I had this revelation I began researching human behavior.  Every conversation I had with another person was a teaching moment for me.  After much interacting, reading, and researching, I knew my main purpose was to make people enlightened to their self and the world around them. 

You never really know what life will through at you, but if you have a better understanding of yourself, life is much more enjoyable.  I am writing a book called the Rotation. I you ever hear about it in the future then it probably got published.  Give it a read if you were remotely intrigued with what I had to say.  

One life, one love, everyone.
