You see the woman I am, living in my sunshine days. Yet behind me fall the shadows of my past. Once they were something I was ashamed of, something I tried to blend into neutrality to keep comfortability and normalcy on the surface. But to mute the depth and intricacies of those stories mute the colors of now. I gave all that I had to race toward the light, and now that I ‘m dancing in it, the shadows have come along with me. I give honor and give space to the stories and feelings of before becuase they made me who I am today.
I’ve been writing for quite some time but have never felt there was a place for me to share. For too long my words have ached in the lost pages of my journals, aching to be shared with other hearts and minds. My writings are like stepping into my home, sitting on my couch, and experiencing life with me right in the thick of it. There may be a small paywall to access some of my writings, for now, because the paywall simply feels like a knock on the door and me welcoming you in. There is a sense of security in the midst of this vulnerability. So with that said, thank you for being here.
