My writing has transformed me. It has also transformed my understanding of others. Here I remind myself that if I have arrived at a positive opinion of some, it is not through our actual interactions, but as a result of my engagement with them in writing. Through the medium of fiction, I have come to better appreciate them, and even respect them. But even so, I must remind myself that all that was written was pure make-believe. A way of understanding and coming to terms with reality. Whatever I project onto others, I must recall that what led me here was my hyper-active imagination alone. It was never real in the slightest.
