If I were to have to introduce myself to a stranger and share five facts about myself I would still struggle to come up with five things to say. I’m not sure that that will ever change, because the idea of having to come up with five unique things about myself automatically shuts down my brain altogether.
I might tell you that I am a reader or that I grew up in the Midwest. Maybe I would mention that I have two siblings or share what my favorite colors are at the moment (plum, maroon, grey, sage). It’s hard to come up with five things, but also impossible to truly capture the complexities of a person in just five facts.
One thing I do know is that I miss writing. I have always enjoyed the art of writing and then going back and rereading, restructuring, omitting, adding. Writing often brings me to tears. Whether it be tears of joy, of sadness, or tears of release, writing is my own little therapy. I started journaling this past year but now I think I am ready to share some of my words with others.
My last post on this platform was made five and a half years ago (to the date!). More than half of a decade ago.
In that amount of time, many things have happened. Many things have come. Many things have left. Many things have been felt. Many things have been said. Many experiences have been lived. Many memories have been created.
I have changed in many ways that I have noticed and probably in even more ways that I have not.
I look forward to returning to writing and sharing more of who I am through my words.
