Back at It Again…

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how long I’ve been doing this whole blogging thing. It actually started when I was around 12 or 13 years old. Back then, I had a Blogger account and would write my heart out, mostly just releasing emotions that I didn’t know how to express any other way. It was never really about who read it. It was about getting it out of me.

I also had a blog on the original WordPress. I loved that space. I could talk to people online, share my thoughts freely, and not feel judged. Socializing in person was always hard for me. I struggled with bullying growing up, and it made connecting with others difficult. But when I wrote online, I felt seen even when no one was watching.

Now here I am, over 20 years later, doing it again but this time, I’m doing it with intention. I’ve grown so much and been through so many chapters. I’ve kept giving advice, writing in journals, and putting my experiences down on paper even when no one else saw them. But now I feel it’s time to open up again. To share, to express, to be me.

I want to reclaim the voice I once had. I want to rebuild the confidence I used to walk in so effortlessly as a young girl who just wanted to speak her truth.

So here’s to showing up. To creating a space that feels good for me. To sharing stories, healing out loud, and reconnecting with the part of me that’s always had something to say, whether people read it or not.

Thanks for being here with me. Feel free to drop a comment if you’ve ever felt the same.
