Essential words here. I see myself in a lot of this and it's very encouraging. You really hit the soul source here - your voice is strong and the pace is easily flowing. Another great piece. Thanks for sharing.

There are so many gut-wrenching nuggets of wisdom in here...familiar reminders that land softly, then those that punch harder because they sound new. Thank you for this. I needed it exactly today. Thank you for the connection and for still sharing with us.

"When I write for myself, everything bleeds onto the page with no filter, no care, no judgement, and no hesitation. I have learned to be honest with myself when I am alone with words. When it comes to sharing them, I am terrified. I want you to know, but I also want to hide. And in some ways, writing on the internet is still hiding." - These words are my own, I swear, I have uttered them too.

"I share because I have gained so much courage from people who shared their journey. I share because it makes us see how much, at the end of the day, we are all the same.

There are many drafts in my folder, waiting to be completed, yet every week, all I can do is write from my heart, from that specific moment in time - the drafts remain untouched."

ME TOO, ME TOO.
