Writing for ME.
Ever since I was a little girl I loved to write stories.
Made up stories that were for my eyes only.
But, along the way I lost this love of writing.
Somewhere in between being told I wasn’t talented enough and writing for the approval of others.
We so easily can turn the thing we love into a chore, a dreaded task that never meets the expectations of others.
Writing what I thought I should write instead of how I wanted to write left me feeling unfulfilled and uninterested.
So, how did I find this love of writing again?
Well… I sort of didn’t.
I started a podcast that allows me to connect, discuss and share my thoughts with others.
I created an Instagram to go alongside it
and the next thing I knew I was enjoying the process of writing captions for my posts.
So, naturally, I kept making posts and writing captions and it wasn’t until recently that I realized that this is a form of writing!
I am writing again and I am enjoying it!
Wanna know why?
Because I literally do not give a crap if anyone likes what I wrote on those captions or how many likes the post is getting.
I am writing because I LIKE IT.
I am writing when I feel inspired by a thought or a moment.
Which leads me to this Blog.
I am here to write, to share and to connect with you.
But, most importantly I am here because it is not to meet the expectations or likes of someone else.
I hope you continue doing what lights you up.
