disclaimer: this is a story that has been many months in the works. it seemed only appropriate that this is where i post it, a place of so many inspirations. a story begun on the way home from the hospital one hot, sweaty day in july. a story that will never really end, but has at last come to a peaceful conclusion. for now. second disclaimer: it's long. really long. but straight from the heart. a story of who i am, where i've been, and how i got to where i am. a story about my inspiration.
and so if you're feeling up to it: read on, my friends. read on.
