I believe everyday your life speaks to you - through every experience, through the people you meet, and even through pain, fear and self-doubt.
All pain is the same.
The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.
I want people to be more open and tolerant. I want them to know that behind every stranger is a backstory that is the common denominator - for we all share in the human experience: pain, sadness, grief, lack of love, and then, with hope and help, step by step achievements.
If you're hurting, you need to help somebody else ease their hurt. If you're in pain, help somebody else's pain.

I wanted to open the door and broaden the field, ... That allows me the opportunity to do what I like to do most, which is sit and talk to authors about their work. It's kind of hard to do that when they're dead.
At the roll call of your life, at the end of your life, what really matters is who did you love and who did you offer love to.
