My blog here in WordPress is my safe place.
Where my unfiltered thoughts can live their most authentic lives, as they serve to heal me through their honest power. And oh, let me tell you just how healing that is.
I’ve had a really rough few days lately, but I’m feeling secure enough in who I am as a person to love and understand myself through the messy and the flawed.
My blog is my safe place. You all are my safe people. And when the thoughts in my head grow too loud to safely stay put, they come here to be let free and heard.
I am not perfect. No one is.
But for every flaw I have, I have at least twice as many qualities that I’m proud of. That makes me uniquely me. And that makes me shine in such an otherwise dark world.
I’m proud of who I am, while also acknowledging all the work that’s left to do.
Tonight is for me. It’s for loving myself, and for allowing those in my life to love me as authentically as they already do.
It’s a 100lb dog laying on me on the bathroom floor while he slowly but surely recovers from his neuter surgery 2 weeks ago.
It’s seeing the good and the bright while holding a space for the dark, and telling it “not right now”.
My blog is my safe place. It’s my somewhere to go when I so often feel I have nowhere to go.
And if you’re here, that’s means you’re a part of my journey. Whether you found me through WordPress, or are one of the select few who got an invitation into my world directly from me, you’re a part of my story. And I’m grateful for this place I’ve been able to create for myself that allows me to be as authentic and true as I need to be. Even in the hard and the messy moments.
At the end of the day, I’m just a girl sitting with a big Bully on her lap on the bathroom floor, hoping to find my footing, and acknowledging the footing I’ve already found.
