sometimes we are our harshest critic. I am still very much in love with academics (in spite of our recent quarrel). I am still trying to figure out who i am, really. And my brain is always working overtime...
A place where the personal, political and poetic collide.

About Me
- Jer
- Passionate about life, mature, slight sense of humour. I hold a Master's degree in English Literature. My ultimate goal is to "get rich or die tryin'" (blame it on pop culture). I also hope to write a book (nonfiction) before i die. I enjoy a good debate whatever the topic, and i always try to create one, when possible. I spend my days job searching, writing poetry and teaching my eager-to-learn pre-schooler. I admire people who are respectful and aren't afraid to 'speak up'. I started this blog as a challenge to myself, to see if my compulsion to write (and to 'speak up') will take me anywhere...
