This is my first time every writing publicly. I have always had a desire to write, but I have never known what to write about or if anyone would want to listen. Would they like it? Would they agree? Will it change their thoughts about me? Am I willing to be vulnerable and open up to complete strangers? All of these questions have plagued my mind and crippled my writing. I’m not sure what is different about today, but today I say, ” I don’t care.” I don’t care if you like it, I don’t care if it changes how you look at me. This blog is a place for me to write down what is on my mind, what I am going through, how I navigate the waves in this sea of life. I wish I could know what my next steps are. I wish I could sit here and say, I know what I am going to blog about next. If I’m being honest ( which I intend to be 100%) I have no idea what I will write about next.
A very dear friend of mine just shared her blog with me. I was very inspired by her honesty and transparency. I am not claiming to be a professional writer. I am not claiming to always have gripping stories or life events that will keep you on the edge of your seat. What I can promise, is I will be 100% honest, and I will just be me. I may change names in different stories or events I tell to protect and respect the identity of people in them. But I will be open and honest. All I ask is that you respect my honesty, and perhaps draw inspiration, or feel like someone else is going through the same things.
I love your bravery Casie! I’m so excited for you! Thank you for “catching this wave” of being open, vulnerable, and authentic! We need more brave souls in this world to help everyone know they are not alone! Thank you! Love you!
