Well, Hello there!
I'm happy you are here! This is where I tell you a little more about myself and why I started this blog.
I never wrote much before. Other than school assignments, and my middle school diary, writing for me just didn't exist. But a few years back, when I felt utterly lost and hopeless, something compelled me to write. Not knowing what else to do, I tried it. I wrote for hours, all through the night. It detangled my mind, and helped light a path for me to move forward and carry on. It was the most cathartic experience I've ever had. Ever since then, I've continued to write. Mostly for myself; rarely had I shared my pieces with anyone.
But shortly after COVID hit, I found myself writing and sharing with people all over our town. In a times of great uncertainty, writing has been a source of comfort for me, so I thought, 'why not share that with others during such uncomfortable times?'. First with just neighbors and friends, but then it spread far and wide. The messages were steady and similar: "there's hope", "stay strong", "we're in this together", "find your silver lining"...but there are other topics on which I would like to write, and here is where I'll do that.
I've always believed in the power of words: their ability to ignite and incite, their capacity to heal, their potential to express what is true within our hearts. And in the most special moments, words can build bridges between strangers. All we need is one person's courage to share, and another's willingness to listen.
I hope this space can build some of those bridges. This blog is my way of reaching out and sharing the everyday struggles of being a mom, a wife, a young professional... Heck, I want to share how hard it is sometimes just being a regular human trying to accomplish regular human tasks each day! You are not alone-the feeling's real!
So please, take a look around and make yourself cozy. The space is yours to peruse and share with others.
If there are any topics you'd like me to comment on, just shoot me a note below!
xo, T
