I sit here on my computer writing. I promised myself that I would just continue to type, no matter if I had the desire to stop. I must admit to you, I have been faced with writer's block. For the past couple of weeks, I kept trying to come up with topics, since there is always something going on in the world, yet, could not formulate words or phrase sentences to my satisfaction.

With all honesty, I did not know where this article was going, nor do I know its destination. Nevertheless, I do know I kept to my promise. I have not ceased to take a sip of the tea to my right, or glance up from the screen staring back at me because I decided to take a risk and leave my thoughts sprawled against the page. And I guess, this is the final product. Whether I like it or not, this is the outcome in which my mind meandered through passageways and beyond. And from here, who knows where it will go. From here, who knows where I will go.
