The vastness of the Earth and the multitude of knowledge and experiences it holds can make it challenging to be aware of everything. As individuals, we are limited by our own perspectives, experiences, and the information available to us. It is impossible for any single person to know everything about the world.

As many people here know, due to my previous articles and poems, I have a disorder known as functional neurological disorder (FND). A huge part of functional neurological disorder for myself, and many others, is a type of seizure called psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). These seizures, while not dangerous, are very disruptive to daily life. They make me feel alone, weak, and not in control of my own anxiety (and other emotions).

"Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing" (I think) kicked off Judy Blume's popular "Fudge" books (It kicked off the franchise for me at least; and prompted me to, to this day, go back and reread "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing," "Superfudge," and, lastly, "Fudge-a-Mania." I never got into "Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great" and, therefore, don't know where it would fall in the sequence of the canon).

Growing up, if I wasn't playing outside, in school, or doing homework, you could bet you'd find me curled up somewhere, reading a big book. I don't know when I decided I wanted to write stories, all I know is one day in middle school I began to write stories of my own.

I have a hyper-fixation on books and when I find a writer I enjoy, I’m completely locked in. Sometimes it’ll be so bad that days will go by before I’ll look up and realize I haven’t eaten anything. My hunger for books is greater, I guess.

TW: mentions of rape, misogyny, and violence. You have countries where women have never had rights. You have other countries where [women] had them and they’re being taken away. What you can say about every totalitarian government, whatever their reason of being they say they have, or whatever their ideology, one thing they always do is roll back women’s rights. Every single one of them. Margaret Atwood (2019)
