A Little About MesteemCreated with Sketch.

I love to write. One of my goals is to write a book. I have a strong fascination with the supernatural, mythical creatures, and urban legends. The best thing with writing fiction, is that I can make my characters anyway I want them to be.

I also love to read quotes. I have a tendency to use them in my writing. They create a feel and a tone to what I am writing. The quotations were one of the first things I read on my own. I considered the words of the authors as my friends.

I grew up in a very abusive home. My mother was just plain selfish. She hated when her own children took the attention from her. She flew off the handle from time to time. That was not pretty. I had many bruises from the belt buckles and whets from the switches. I had been hit in the head with the hairbrush or whatever she could find.

As if that was not enough, my step-father was even worse than her. He was a jealous man. He would beat her and accuse her of having an intimate relationship with not only men in town, but also the women in town. I have no clue as if she was, but I do know of at least of two men she was having affairs. She would lie to sustain her own self preservation, even if it meant causing someone else harm and grief.

He would beat her until she was bleeding and at least one of her bones were broken. I think he must have broken her nose at least twice, her ankle sprained numerous times, and bruises galore. It was a sick attraction on her part. She enjoyed the role of the playing the victim. It brought her the much needed attention she deserved. In her own pitiful, sad existence, she could not have been independent enough to make it on her own.

There is so much more to that story, and it is not fiction. I consider myself to have been very fortunate to have changed my life for the better. I had the power of myself and God, and we changed it together. Church was my escape from the house of hell. From the house of hell, I decided to find the much needed protection in the House of the Lord. I walked behind no one. I will not wait behind. I have my opinions, and can think for myself.

I have been married three times. Yes, I said three times. Not all marriages are made in Heaven. I think these were totally from Hell. The devil can appear as an angel of light. I do believe that more than ever.

I will go into more details later posts. To know these things is the beginning of just a little about me.
