I just love words. I've always loved books, and learning new words. They all for so much creativity in expression. That's what brought me to writing initially. In this season its return back to myself. I used to write and share publicly very regularly, but haven't in years. I've been feeling called to come back to it, interestingly I am also in a season of personal exploration and I know that writing will be a key in helping me to work through everything I am experiencing.
One thing I deeply appreciate (and sometimes loathe) about writing is the way it calls me to revisit moments of connection — those profound thoughts that arise, often unexpectedly, in conversation with someone else. When a thought feels meaningful, I sit down to write about it, as if I’m trying to save the essence of that moment, to freeze it in time, and maybe share it in the hopes it will resonate with others.
But writing has this way of humbling me. What felt effortless to speak can suddenly feel impossible to capture on the page. Writing is like a woman of great value. She demands your full attention, your focus, your patience. She expects you to show up with effort and intention if you hope to get close to her. And even then, sometimes she’ll make you work for it — as she should — reminding you that the beauty is in the process, not just the outcome.
Wellllll, hiiiiiiii!!!! Looove that you chimed in!!!
Oh, man. I feel this so hard. SO hard. But isn't that funny?! You talking about your struggle to paint something back on the page and wondering if it will resonate is really resonating with me! You make more sense than you think you do. KEEP this GOLD coming.
Also. LOVE the metaphor you draw here. It's SO true.
Soooo happy you are HERE!! It is such a gift to be reconnecting!
