Welcome to Me.

I’ve wanted to write a blog for ages. The countless posts on social media about my journey and thoughts on life attest to that passion. I always found a reason not to get serious about writing. I’m too busy, I need more practice, I’m not unique enough. It’s easy to talk myself out of something I’m passionate about.

Anxiety and fear hold me back more than anything else. The more passionate I am about something, the more stress I feel about it. I’m afraid to share personal truths for fear that I’ll be judged or ostracized. At the same time, I’ve shared my inner journey for years without issue. It’s funny to notice how anxiety and stress usually isn’t based in reality.

So, here it is. I’ve done it. The blog is started, the website is paid for. It will be a continual work in progress – it doesn’t have to be perfect on the first try. Life is like that too.

I’ll post new content as well as writing from years past. Eventually I’ll have distinct sections for blog posts, general writing, and my dream journal.

Why am I sharing? I’ve heard my posts help others gain perspective and understanding. Of course, the response from others is part of my motivation. However, more than anything, I want to make a difference in the world. I want to share my journey to normalize it. I want to expand awareness and acceptance. I want to help others who are less fortunate than me.

Perhaps it’s vain to think my blog will make a difference- but it’s up to all of us to do what we can, no matter how small. Hopefully this is the start of a good thing. Thanks for reading.
