A STORY- The Begining

this is a story about a family divided and their quest to find happiness and holism within their individual lives as well as in their construction as a family. the characters are fictional but the inspiration for their creation is non-fictional. this story began when i was in highschool. it was originally an attempt to create characters that were versions of me. i realize now that these characters are versions of the things i have known and seen. they are me and they are not.

the story is just that, a story. a small rendering of someone's life. the goal i have set for this story, is that it touches everyone who reads it in some way. perhaps, i have illustrated something you have seen or felt or known and perhaps in that way, we realize that we are not alone, that division is not quite as definate as one may think. my goal is to communicate the complexity of human relationships. my goal is to illustrate the human condition.

i will attempt to work on this story here. i have alot written already, however, much of it needs to be edited. certain things just don't make sense and as of right now the story isn't going anywhere. but i am hoping to start adding entries (hopefully) everyday and build the story in this way.

so today i have given a vague summary of what the story is about and what i hope to accomplish with it. the next entry will include a background of the major characters. lets see how this big ol' project goes :)
