WELCOME TO POINTS OF CONNECTION
Points of Connection is an online collection of thoughts, poems, and ideas that I have had over the years. My writing has always been a place of solitude and serenity for myself, and it is my hope that you may use them to make new friends, meet new people, build your self-confidence, and become a more empowered & purposefully vulnerable person through reading what I wrote. I know that it has helped me over the years do just such.

Understanding Insecurities
I'm going to start off with a bold statement. Insecurities cause most, if not all, of the world's suffering. All the worst acts of suffering I have caused in my own life as well as those that I've seen done to me or around me all seem to be rooted in the pain of unresolved problems from that past that linger on in our minds.
Deconstructing Definitions
We are never so much more human as in the times we discover that we are not that different, you and I. Somewhere in the palette of color we paint our life our minds are like brothers and sisters, muddled merely by the medium we choose to express ourselves. What if what you wanted in life was the same as what I wanted in life?
