Missed You

I took a break for the summer to get done with all of the big and little things that the world requires people to do. Though I haven’t really done much on here, my absence has made me notice how much I value having this place to hold my thoughts and feelings. There are so many ways to put ones’ story into the public eye, but it seems like all the ways that we have to make ourselves publicly known rarely do the job of holding us in all of our mess, of carrying the parts that don’t truly make sense to us, the parts that may never make sense. There is so much space for noise, and though some use the space to make community, I often find myself lost in a sea of chatter, worried about losing and argument I never asked to have. I have no ill-will for critiques. I believe in calling in those who stumble and calling out the things that live loudly by using noise to suffocate those who are simply doing their best, but sometimes, sharing myself feels like sacrificing peace for publicity.

This mild anonymity frees me to be myself, sharing the parts of me that no one witnesses with those whose hidden thoughts feel seen by my words. That is why this place means so much to me.

I plan to try and post twice a month when I can, on here and on my (currently sparce) social media pages, and the page may be updating in to something homier to reflect my weird and wondering mind.

I truly appreciate you for taking the time to listen to my words

Talks soon!
