Yup, those work. My life is a paradox and my venue is about to change. Maybe more than I want to think about right now. Not thinking about it won't make the problem go away though, so I may as well just jump right in there and get moving. My name is Raven Onyx Black. I am starting a journal today, for the first time in my life. I am hoping that seeing my own story in black and white will help me make sense of it. Yeah, right. Not feeling confident on that but here goes anyway. Maybe you can help me out as you follow along.
