Please allow me to begin this “About Me” page by saying that there is nothing I loath more than to write about myself. I always read “About Me” pages and appreciate their existence it’s just that being on the other side of the experience is much less fun.
A good example of my disdain for writing about myself would be resumes; Hate em’. My perfectly written resume would go something like this: “Hi, my name is Bre Orcasitas. Please ask people I have worked for and with about my work ethic and attitude. That about wraps it up, thanks for your time.”
In general I write because it helps keep my head from exploding.
But the two main reasons I have decided to create this blog are:
Reason #1
Through writing I can bring people with me on my journeys that they may not get (or want) an opportunity to experience first hand.
Reason#2
The lessons I have learned through my experiences could potentially help someone else have an easier time when they are in the same place in life. Or at the very least they can feel relieved they haven’t had some of my experiences and get a good laugh!
