“It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.”
~ John Green

Any random thought, maybe devious, maybe unwholesome, maybe questionably immoral or unethical, maybe unpracticed, maybe apparently logical to you, or any other thought forcing you to question your humanity, reading allows you to see you share the world of your mind with others. No matter what daunting problem, random issue, irritating condition, insurmountable situation, debilitating disease, or chronic affliction you are enduring or have endured, when you read you realize there are countless others who have invariably endured the equivalent or, by chance, worse. No matter what heinous act, unforgivable behavior, untraditional or unaccepted exploit you might partake, you will find other poor souls guilty of each and every one of them, and sometimes with even graver outcomes than you could have ever imagined.
Writers write to explain the human condition through their eyes, to teach or inform or attempt change, while entertaining with silver words and rosy phrases, so when you decide to read, you most certainly, dear reader, are not alone.
