— Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

This is the first post on my new blog. With this blog, I start my journey of self-discovery. Along the way, I hope I can document the hours spent researching varied words and phrases that catch my fancy and give myself the structure I seek in others. At least, that is what my therapist asked me to do.
