My Life, My History

by Crystal Dragon

Rated: GC · Book · Biographical · #2285105

This will be written in pieces. I keep myself together as best I can using rubber bands.

This is the history of my life, so far. It will cover from when I was born: September 17, 1980 until the present day. I will probably have a fair amount of focus on the time I spent in Vancouver, BC from January 1996 - April 2002.

This is a living document and I will update and make minor edits and changes as details and dates become clearer. There is a lot I try hard to never think about, but sometimes the memories push their way into my brain from things I see, hear, read, smell. Sometimes I don't know what the trigger is or why I am remembering things. I try to focus my attention elsewhere whenever I can, but sometimes, I just can't so I thought maybe writing might help a bit.

I would like to be very clear that by writing and sharing this, I am not looking for anything from anybody. I'm writing it hoping that it might help not only me, but perhaps someone else who might be able to relate to my experiences. Just so they know that they are not alone.

One last thing, this will not, at least initially, be "in chronological order". I'm just going to go with what is circling around in my head, over and over, like an old dead fish that won't go down the drain.

I also post photos and blurbs about my life and my experiences on Google Maps. You can check it out here:

I've transcribed most of the info from my Google Maps list into one of the chapters in my book here:
