I decided to start writing stories of my relationships both romantically, familial, friends, and self-love. A series of reflections, opinions, memories, and stories. I've always felt like a background character. It seemed like my experiences and stories weren't unique maybe they weren't relatable, or that my personality wasn't a standout, or maybe that it was as simple as no one cared. I'm creating this blog eventually book of short stories and reflections in hopes that other people can connect to some of my experiences. This is a pursuit of making sense of events in my life. I want to be apart of this movement to be more vulnerable and talk about the things that are seemingly secrets but yet is something everyone can relate to one way or another.
I wanted to preface that in no way are these reflections, stories, and thoughts in chronological order. These things I share aren't to belittle anyone or bring bad light to individuals that I care dearly. These memories are ordered in a way for me to make sense of this life I’ve lived and I want to share. I hope that you can resonate and see yourself in some of this.
*I will be using first name initials for a little bit of anonymity. For those of you who know me personally, you'll come to know who I'm talking about and these personal experiences. I hope you take this information and is you choose to share it, to share it with grace.
