Dear the most honest version of me, Hello there, a version of myself that I don’t yet quite recognize. I have to wonder…have we ever met yet? Are you a version of me that I’ve seen before? That I’ve met and lost along the way…? Or have I simply yet to ever encounter you yet? […]

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

One of the reasons I absolutely love blogging is the community that comes with it. I’ve been writing in a blog format for 10 years now, and I’ve had nothing but a positive experience immersing myself in the community that naturally formed. I’ve met a lot of amazing people with stories I’m honored to have

Don’t think, don’t block it out, don’t edit it or filter it. Just let it out. I have SO much running through my head lately that it hurts. I have so many thoughts that mean something, but then they just get lost halfway through and all tangled up and I can’t isolate anything anymore. My
A brain like a bowl of noodles, and slowing down to reconnect. Read More »
I’m writing something, because something is better than nothing. There is such a huge disconnect between various different parts of myself right now. I feel, but I can’t think about it. I’m hurting, but I can’t acknowledge it. I desperately need people, but I’ll push them away fiercely instead. I need to write, but I
When words are hard to find, when my voice gets silenced and writing becomes impossible….thats one of the biggest red flags that exists for me. There are some things that, over time, I’ve learned are major signs that something is wrong. Namely, not being able to write, and also the opposite…writing a ton. Writing because
Writing isn’t my job. It isn’t a requirement. I don’t get paid, I don’t necessarily get anything out of it (other than organizing my thoughts and hopefully finding support)….and yet, I do it. Freely and willingly. Some days are harder than others. Sometimes I have more to say, and the words flow freely….and sometimes, I

I’ve been blogging here on WordPress for a good few years now. And in those 3ish(?) years, I’ve learned a lot of things. I’ve learned about myself, I’ve learned about other people and their stories, both similar to mine and completely different. But the thing that’s made the biggest impact is the actual, genuine, real

A few years ago, I made the decision to start sharing my life again. I started writing, I started blogging, and I started getting more involved in the online community here on WordPress. I’ve made some genuine, real friends, I’ve gained perspective, and it’s been nothing but good. I have no intention to stop blogging
A new journey, finding hope. Read More »
As I’m sitting here in my peaceful, quiet hotel room, I realized that this is when I usually write! Instead of being stressed and overwhelmed and overtired, I’m instead sitting in bed, drinking coffee and watching tv. I’m sorry…what? Who’s life is this? The hotel I’m at is beautiful, the view is even better, and
