Introducing Myself
My name is Mark Andrew Wardell Rogerson and up until 2015 I made a living working mostly as a freelancer in IT. Now, I aspire to be a writer of words that can touch peoples hearts and minds.
I have battled with clinical depression since 1999 and would like to use this website to share some of the thoughts and philosophies that have helped me through these dark times.
Alongside my tag as a ‘Depression Survivor’, I am these things too:
A Writer, A Poet, A Philosopher, A Human, A Man, A Friend, A Partner, A Lover, A Son, A Sibling and just another tiny little atom muddling through life the best he can.
I will confess at this point, that I've lifted the above from my 'About Me' section on my website - apandag.com
But right now I'm taking you live into the world of original words spilling forth from my fingers in real time, as you watch!
I'm intending to use Steem to read all about what you lovely people have to say (I'll almost read anything given the time and a lack of distractions) and I'm intending to use steem to share my thoughts and philosophies on the world. I'm also intending to use steem to just see what the heck is going on here :-)
Here's me, looking all artful and posey. And just like they say on the tele, Other images of me are also available (but not as flattering boo)
Hello! I think you will like it here. You will find lots of support. Associated with depression is creativity, and perhaps, your desire to touch others with your words will realize a reciprocal value in Steemit. I sense you are teacher in addition to your list of self identities. I thought your post on the use of text centering was clear, brief, and persuasive. The before and after demonstrated the point. Mark Twain and Boris Pasternak, as story tellers, always seems to speak from the heart of a teacher ... I wish you the the full expression of your ideas. Welcome to Steemit.
Welcome aboard, Mark.
Every one of us is fighting an internal battle. Stay focused, and smile even when it hurts.
Try it sometime... When you are feeling down, stand in the mirror and force a smile. Make goofy faces, until you laugh at how dumb you feel.
