Welcome to Factoring Emotions...
I fell in love with the written word when I was young. Back to the days when my mother would read to me while I took a bath, or when I first began reading Roald Dahl books and every Dr. Seuss book I could get my hands on. I fell in love with tongue twisters and all the funny and different ways to express the things around us or the events in our lives. The comic relief that made me laugh as a child later turned into an outlet for my very messy, confused, puberty ridden mind. Always afraid to say something I would regret, I would write prose in a diary I started when I was ten, and then later, I put every thought into a Microsoft Word document starting when I was sixteen, and then that lead me to this very website- to my personal collage of thoughts, terribly expressed poetry, the moments I'm afraid I'll forget one day, and a list of choice quotes that I love to read over and over again.
Words. They can be so powerful and moving. They can be hurtful and cruel. You can say something a million different ways with context and tones and mannerisms; those few choice words assembled together in just the right way portraying a story that can make you cry or really feel something you never thought you would feel. Expression of the inner mind, the inner consciousness - so intellectually profound and so deep within ourselves, that few of us ever really know what words could possibly describe it. But when you find them, those words stay with you. They build you up, they can bring others down, they forge a path of greatness, or the twisting hallways to destruction.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.”
