Devotion

The deluded of all traits

Devotion would have you believe in perfection

Sprinkle it too lightly and you’re abhorrent

Too deeply and you’re a fool

This is the dividing line in life

To what do we apply our allegiance

Who deserves our worship

Only those with more than a pinch

Differing Angles

J.D Mullenary Sr., a.k.a. AbnormalVAverage, is a teacher and Esports coach based in Texas. He grew up on the beach in California, enjoying its temperate climate and boundless enthusiasm for life. After completing his first degree at nineteen, he felt that he needed to grow up and discover new experiences. With that in mind, he joined the military, earning a second degree in the process, and served for four years. After receiving his honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, helped raise his two sons, and returned to college with a focus on English and teaching. Now, he spends his time writing when he can, teaching students and Esports players the values of critical thinking, while still fostering all of the strays his wife brings to their home.
