The Story So Far

endings. beginnings.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
— C.S. Lewis

The end of July is an odd time to be starting over but here we are.

Here I am.

I've been trying really hard to be 'here, now' like a peaceful warrior and if I had a master, I'm sure he / she would be whispering, "But dear ignorant fool, the trick is not to try so hard." Whatever, master. (pissing myself off with internal monologues - #5 on the list of what I do best)

The past months have been so much, on some days, honestly a little too much. I've been trying my best to deal with things and not fall apart. One huge and important way I cope is through writing. Our minds are filled with so much crap, it's good to have a little purge once in awhile.

So here's my purge. I don't mean to make it sound so shitty and I promise there'll be good crap. (Okay, done with puns)

Getting back on track - this is an invitation to join me on a journey because some days are tough and it's nice to not feel alone. Plus, I promise happy things - in the form of words, friendship, possibly cookies and the occasional motivational GIFs (you're welcome). 

Point is, I'm trying to start writing and sharing again. It feels vulnerable and uncomfortable, like getting out of the water with your suit awkwardly stuck to your bum, and in your head everyone is staring and judging you. 

I digress, and often attempt to cope with humour. 

Anyway, here I am, in all my awkwardness, inviting you to join me on this journey, follow these stories and share your thoughts (just don't be a dick). Okay? Okay. 

Thanks for walking with me.
