There’s a line from the movie, The Five Heartbeats that says something like, “You’ll become a better writer when you suffer more.” I never wanted to suffer more to become a better writer. I can remember watching that movie in later years and being haunted by the fact that I could write better if I wrote the whole truth. I wrote the good truth and the funny truth but not the truth that made me feel vulnerable and exposed to my family, friends and the internet. I’m embarking on a new journey and now I feel free to write whatever I want.

Sporadically Yours, Kenya
