The End of the Beginning

This is the week we are all supposed to reveal our pen names.  It's scary stuff. For me I'm not too worried because I already revealed who I am.  Dan Humphrey is Adam Canfield. 

To be honest I'm not really sure if you even know who Adam Canfield is.  Because I don't talk very much and I think I'm scared of what you think about me.  But maybe you should know who I am. 

Something I've learned over these few months of writing behind a pen name is that you've just gotta be yourself. There's really nobody else to be. 

Yes we have all been different people in the sense that we have been using different names for ourselves, but I promise you everything that came from Dan Humphrey was coming straight from my head. I've learned to be sure of who I am, and to be that person.

Letter To My Heart

Shalom, 

How's it going down there? I've never actually seen you, but I've seen you trying to break out. I can see you pounding on my chest whenever you get beating really fast. 
I'm glad you know how to take a punch. I've gotta give you that. I know I should listen to you more...maybe I just can't hear what you're saying most of the time because of everything else that is going on. Maybe we speak different love languages. Whatever it is, I'm sorry I don't listen to you more. 

Thanks for always beating for me you bloody mess.

So I guess I'll surprise you. 
My name is Adum.

Fear?

A mirror. Yes. I think a mirror can be one of the scariest things in the world. Looking yourself in the eye, that's hard to do. 
Considering all the fears you could have. Most of these fears are completely irrational. And especially irrelevant when you come to the realization that you're going to die. Why would you be worried about what others may be thinking about you when one day you'll die and that won't matter at all? Be happy with who you are. Accept yourself for who you are. Stare into the mirror, and see yourself as you truly are. Alive and full of potential.
