it had been about two years since i posted on anything other than facebook (and the occasional tiktok). i needed quite the break as i took a deep dive inward and have been continuing to heal and find myself through creativity.

specifically writing, drawing and photography. these are some of the tools that continue to heal me most and it brings me joy to share my work and progress.

i have been encouraged to start a blog several times over the past year or so as i start to open up about my journey to re-discovering myself and my life in general. for so long, maybe forever, i have strongly felt unworthy of having a voice. when you bring in the fact that more often than not, i am a fragile human who requires time alone to feel align with who i am, my voice continued to sit in the shadows, happily remaining unheard.

after a very big, life changing project that i have been a part of the past two years, it has strengthened my voice and relit the writing spark in me that had been dimmed for a long time. a big part of me often questions why even bother. a small part, however, is fighting for my voice to be heard. no matter what it is i have to say, regardless of the crippling anxiety mixed into a pot of inner criticism and comparison i feel when simply posting…

i must be heard.
no matter how much my voice
and hands shake, i will be heard.

as i have tried to balance life with the intention of re-discovering who i am and want to be, i am constantly finding myself back in the place of creating. i have loved to create since the moment i knew i could. in any way, shape or form.

give me a stick,
i’ll build a house.
give me rocks, i’ll paint
or stack them. give me a
pencil, i’ll draw what inspires
me. give me a camera, i’ll capture
what brings my soul to life. give me
words and i’ll gladly write, write, write.

creating is a part of me and always has been.
this is part of who i am. stick around and we’ll discover more.
