I started this with the intent to navigate my own life, to feel less alone.
I always struggled with understanding my place in the world and who I set out to be.
Like all humans, I found comfort in being able to talk out my inner struggles with close friends.
However, I started to feel like reaching out wasn't enough anymore.
That navigating my life and emotions was a burden to those I unloaded on.
And The place that I once found comfort in was now clouded with doubt, guilt.
Guilt that I had placed the people I loved into the position of hearing my bullshit and yet also doubt that they cared to hear it anymore.
Even though I knew they loved me, I couldn't shake the feeling that my journey to self discovery was now a burden. Just an annoying buzzing they were obligated to listen to because I am me.
I want For the Girl to be for every person who has felt the way I do.
A place to find comfort when you find that you've now become a burden.
A place to find that it's okay to cry
And to smile
And to laugh
A place to know you aren't alone
A place that you, like so many of us, can feel at home.
Thank you for this . It feels good to know that I'm not alone in the way that I feel
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading it and I hope you continue to.
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely the intention of starting this, to make sure other people know they aren’t alone in the way they feel, even if it seems like it
I love that you are doing this. You are a wonderful writer with a beautiful gift for expression.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I wanted to read what kind of a blog you were writing since i love blogs and this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteEveryone goes through different things at different times. Helps to get it out in writing for some reason I found it healing. You are doing the same but your sharing this with everyone so it's not just helping you but others as well. You are very good with expressing your thoughts and feeling. Follow your passions, interests and hobbies and you will find yourself. It took me till I was 47 to find myself. You will find yourself in time. Having your loved ones with along your journey makes it even better. Making memories to cherish is what its all about. You can see your heart in your writing. You will find yourself one day.
