What's your story?

We all have unique lives with stories that would blow people's minds. We've all been through trauma of some description and we all had to crawl ourselves out of darkness at some point, or many points along the way. Your story is meant to be heard. You are the best storyteller for your tale of extraordinary adventures. If you are too nervous to share, just write down what has made you, you. Pull out those painful memories and let them lay on the paper breathing, exposed, open. Let them mix and mingle with the atmosphere and allow any emotions to flow. Find a good friend that you can be raw with. Bare your soul and sit and listen as they reciprocate the gift. There is beauty in nakedness, vulnerability, and mutual acceptance. Let your soul dance through your chapters of pain and love and inner expansion.

    My desire to write open and honestly has saved me from the brink of absolute destruction, as dramatic as that sounds, tis true. There is value in every piece of how I've become who I am and writing and talking about it helps me sift through it. That's good stuff.

      Blogs are a beautiful place to share and be accepted as you you are.

    i love that last line "let your soul dance through the chapters of pain and love and inner expansion."

    i have a hard time with this, however, i have noticed anytime i do feel the overwhelming desire to tell a story or talk about a traumatic event, i feel much lighter afterwards. cliche, but true.

    and i thank you for being my listener lately :) i'm happy to have found a friend in you.

    I have always found writing to be very cathartic...a sweet release that's unlike any other artistic release in my opinion. In many ways, we discover who we are through our writings.

    I feel like each of our stories is really the epitome of our respective blogs. It's amazing what you can find out about each other and how you can connect with other people, just by sharing things on the internet.
