A new space.
I have never understood fearing the new. I look forward to newness whether it be a new pen or a new path. I tend to greet them both with an openness to explore. And I do so with the understanding that I will test the limits and that nothing is permanent. So I look at this new blog as just another path in life that I plan to walk on until I can no longer do so. And when that time comes, I will start anew.
A new space.
Unfortunately, this new space is cluttered with old baggage. Much of what moved me to start this blog has to do with my new relationship with my sister and the end of my relationship with my mother, a story that I will get into later. I realized that I needed to purge in a way, no a place, that was uninhibited by the feeling that I must be a happy mother at all times. The truth is, I am far from happy all the time. I battle depression on a daily basis. I wake up every morning with a voice in the back of my head reminding me that life can suck BADLY! But, when I write I purge myself of the thoughts that can send me spiraling into a state of anxiety and self-loathing.
And so, I will write more. I will do what I do without fear and without worry.
I agree, writing can be extremely cathartic, especially when written from an authentic, heartfelt place.
Love the page design!

This is a wonderful decision to have this place. It can definitely help to those thoughts out. I find it to be very theraputic.
Awesome. This is certainly a great move for you. I have very strong opinions about this need to show teeth and be perpetually bursting with glee, real life is exactly that-REAL. I’m looking forward to the new walk on an old path, or is it an old walk on a new path?
