My first blog post

I used to write. I used to like writing. I don’t know why I ever stopped… well, maybe I do.

Writing for me is like a hatchet to a brick wall. It chips away at the stone until everything behind is exposed and vulnerable to the world. I’ve been reenforcing the wall for a long time now. But, every now and then, a feeling comes over me and the thought that I should write again consumes my mind. It scares me and there’s a tightness in my chest. All my insecurities flood me.

“Who am I to think sharing my experiences could help someone?”

“I’m not good enough to put myself out there.”

“What will people think of me putting my life on the internet?”

I push the thought of writing swiftly from my mind and reenforce the wall.

Not today. Today the fear of not expressing myself, not sharing my journey, not putting myself out into the World in this way is bigger than the fear of doing all of these things. I want to share my experiences - past and present - in the hopes that you will read them and they will help you in some way.

I listen to podcasts, read blogs, follow people who I look up to and who have gone through similar things as me in life and overcome similar hardships. These people sharing their stories has meant so much to me and helped to me not feel alone in my struggles. I want to be that for you - sweet reader.

So, this blog is about me. It’s about the things I’m loving in the health and wellness space, the places I’m traveling, my opinions on topics I’m interested in, my own healing journey and my past experiences that have made me who I am today. Join me as I chip away at the brick wall.
