The Scoundrel
I was born in Toronto but raised in what was known as Bramalea.
I’m the youngest of 7 children, which I think, more than anything, defines who and what I am.
5 sisters and 1 brother, it’s been the best gift and a huge burden.
It places me in roles that push me forward and keep me tied.
There’s too much and not enough to write about. I work. I love my dog. I love my family. I love my friends.
Sometimes I ask too much of people and sometimes not enough.
Sometimes I take things personally and sometimes I don’t. I love fun. To laugh. To be a part of something deeper than what I have and sometimes just happy to have what I have.
I want more, I want less. I take seriously and mock my own contradictions.
“I will be quiet, I swear, never open my mouth, nod obligingly, keep myself to myself for good and all.? And yet, even as I swear it I know it’s nonsense and impossible for me. I can’t keep my mouth shut. I never could.”
Margaret Laurence - “The Stone Angel”
