readers:

the down side to my anonymity is that i have no way to interact with you, but view it as an opportunity to know someone in her rawest sense. i don't like to believe that i am a writer, because what i do write is me. i write my feelings in the most blunt form that they come in, and i believe that if you knew who i was, it would affect your opinion of my pieces or myself, i'd like your opinions to be just as blunt as my writing. not only is it to protect both of me, but it also is something that i hope you can benefit from as well. it's ironic how i can be known and unknown at the same time. 
thank you for reading and understanding that anonymity is the only way for me to completely do what the team does, share and open our feelings.
affectus aperi.
