I stumbled into the writing game a little over 2 years ago. It’s when Quora gave the option for readers to suggest edits. I love the freedom of writing without having to use Grammarly on Quora. Here is my unedited cliff note version of how it happened with NO Grammarly.

The journey I found by accident

I was just out of a very abusive relationship. But this one was different. It left me more confused and broken than my other two. The difference between this relationship, and the other two was it forced me to look at myself. I’m still lost in life, I can see direction. but at times I go back to what is comfortable. And my comfort isn’t healthy for me, or healthy to those that are in my life on a regular basis.

I found Quora by asking questions on Google trying to figure out what in Sam Fuck I was dealing with in a relationship. One day, I decided to answer a question, and it went viral. It was first of many I’ve had on Quora. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing as notification after notification was rolling in with likes, shares and comments. To date it has 1.2 million views and 45k+ likes. I have had others that are north of 2 millions views.
