I've been slacking this week on my post, but it's been a busy one. We all have 'em.
Anyway, when I found this quote I knew that I would write about it one day. Because this, right here, is why I started this blog.
I've experienced a lot of shi*t in my life. Too much sh*t for one story. And I experience more and more every day. Sometimes I write about the past, sometimes I write about the present. But when I published my story on Medium, and everyone was commenting about how they hoped it brought healing to me? I didn't ever imagine that would be the purpose of writing that story. I wrote it because I wanted others to know that there are other people out there as injured and heartbroken as they are, and not from a breakup, just from life itself. But as I read those comments about healing, I realized that maybe this was my therapy, my healing, my freedom. To put it out there. To stop holding it in. To tell the world, or however many people read it, what I've been through. Good and Bad.
It's different, and it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I get tired of influencers always posting positive stuff but then every once in a while posting about anxiety, stress, body positivity, etc. But I get healing out of this and I'm hoping others will as well. It's okay to tell your story and it's okay to talk about the past, it's part of us. However, good or bad it may be.
This quote, is exactly what I am doing with this blog. I'm here to lay it all out, look at it, and decide what needs to be held onto and what needs to be let go. And by telling my stories, I am letting go of what should be, and putting in writing what I want to remember. Because I am a mess and I'm only beginning to learn how to unpack that mess and look it straight in the eyes.
This blog is absolutely bringing me healing and I hope it is bringing others healing as well. Please reach out to me, even if you want it to be anonymous. I want to tell other people's stories as well, not just my own.
