This writer has created works based on observations of others (including case studies watched in University class films, such as the entire Ileana series), tales from others (chat), for a book by another writer (never published), and through personal experiences. Dysfunctional Meanderings is a slice of all of these sources of information and/or insight into the lives of real live human beings within less than ideal situations. Numerous works herein have been labeled as ideal break-up poetry even if they were not originally written as such.
