How do we begin? This is an on going project— I will try to stick with it as long as I can. How many times have I begun a story and abandoning it? Probably a dozen times too many. I probably should introduce myself— I am known as Patchouli here and it shall remain thus, but I am in my early 20's, I work as a paralegal and a freelance interpreter/translator. I am not satisfied with my life, but a lot of people live their lives in quiet desperation. 

 

    The chapters to come can be seen as snap shots, and tidbits of my life, my dreams (both personal and during R.E.M), as well as my goals in life. I just posted this under Blog, but I want to try something different. As suggested by the name, 『Raw』, if you're faint-heart'd, easily offended, I suggest that you click away right now. 

 

    Sometimes the things I write will be morally questionable. You don't have to agree with it, it's my life, my choices, not yours. But if you choose to read, please keep an open mind.

 

    I'd love to see your comments on the things you read though, even if you don't agree with what you see, please keep it civilized.

 

 

Sincerely yours,

Patchouli
