As if to entertain the interests of my unborn children, assuming I would at some point start my own family.

This book has endured multiple editions, deletions and additions, with literally years of editing. The purpose remains, to give a truthful account of who I am as a person and what it is I think about. There is no plot or order I'm adhering to, but my struggles and convictions as they appear.
