I got my first journal when I was 8 years old. It sparked something magical inside of me. Finally an outlet for my beating heart, my watchful eyes, and my active brain. Writing quickly became my quiet obsession. So quiet in fact, only a few people knew how often I journaled and for how long I’ve done it. It’s been over 20 years now of consistently recording thoughts in notebooks, journals and private digital platforms.
For many reasons I finally feel “ready as I’ll ever be” to share my voice, my insides, publicly with anyone willing to openly read/listen. *my heart is racing already*
I’m scared to do this site for a lot of reasons… but I’ve learned that most things that I’m afraid to do, but compulsively circle back to- become the most fulfilling things in my life.
If you follow, and you know me in “real life” you’ll get to know me better here. I’ve ALWAYS felt the most “me” when I write.
If you find me first via social media or this platform and then someday meet me in person, you’ll get to know other sides of me (typically the more “fumbly,” imperfect, human, and mushy) sides.
Like anything, these post will be pieces and fragments of who I REALLY am, what I “really” feel, what circles around in my mind, what I care about, what I find interesting or important enough to share.
If you’re down… Let’s “grow as we go” together yeah?
As always,
Love in and Love out sweet thing.
