Lately, I began to wonder why I ever abandoned my blog. For those of you that don’t know, this is not my first blog. I started theglowgetterblog.com in 2016, but I was lacking consistency and was not in the right state of mind, I lost my focus. After talking about it for so long and missing it, I have finally found the courage to give this another try. This time, ain’t no giving up!
Writing has always been therapeutic for me. I started keeping journals when I was in elementary school, every day I would write my thoughts and feelings. Writing became my escape. In 2018, when I lost my best friend suddenly, I felt as I was a lonely traveler with no companion and worse yet, no destination. I was left confused with unanswered questions. The irony about grief is that the person you need to talk about how you feel is the person that is no longer here. I began seeing a therapist and I started writing again as a source of healing to release my pain.
As time goes on, life moves forward. Everything feels different, you forced to embrace a life you never thought you’d lived without them. I found myself wanting to have space where I could create and document. Although I love social media, connecting with others. I’m very particular about what I share. So putting myself out there for the world to see, read about and evaluate. Well, that’s definitely outside of my comfort zone. This space will serve as my creative outlet to share my life experiences and struggles. My life isn’t perfect but it does have perfect moments. I am silly, blunt, quirky, funny, passionate, stubborn, and adventurous. I go through dark periods like the moon, and my nights are sometimes too long. I embrace silence and solitude. I often trip over my own insecurities. My heart is pure, and I love hard with everything I’ve got and thankful for everything I have.
I’m excited to share my journey with you, connect with you, and most importantly learn from you, and hopefully, you being able to learn from me. I hope this blog inspires you to keep pushing, do things that challenge you, live louder, go after what you want, explore the world, because in between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you stick around.
