A Publication
Welcome to Grapple
Let the conflicts flow
It has been hard for me personally at times to deal with conflicts or contradictions. I grew up in a family that prevented or avoided them, and it made me initially extremely sensitive to any arguments, criticisms, and judgments well into adolescence that affected my friendships, relationships, and even my work. It took some extraordinary circumstances and ultimately love to grapple with the serious possibility of living freely within these previously feared, misunderstood life elements.
While it remains a continuous struggle in real life, it has also produced many self-discoveries, enlightenment, and lessons along the way.
However, in writing, conflicts are the secret sauce to any good narrative, movie, character development, creative work, etc. — it is the staff of life.
This publication is at the start, a personal venture to explore all of life’s non-fictional struggles, whether personal, witnessed, or perceived, and how to grapple with and learn from them. If it can edify or inspire you, I am grateful for your company along this journey.
