Find Yourself: How Writing Made Me the Truest Version of Myself
For people who have asked the big questions and want a community that understands
Have you ever felt hollow, empty in life, or like you were living in the shadows? Do you feel indifferent to your current situation? I have experienced these feelings of depression, loneliness, and being lost in a spot that seems cold and stagnant. The worst part is that social media has made us feel more alone, more isolated in our feelings. We see the highlights of other people’s lives, and it makes us doubt the feelings we have in ours, making us feel alone in our struggles.
I am here to tell you that you are not alone, and that is the reason behind my blog: to connect, to feel, to open up with my community.
You are welcome here.
It is rare to be authentic and vulnerable, but that is what I want to challenge with my writings. I want to show my community, my readers, that we all have to find things that we love and cherish, and to pursue them even if the world tells us that it is impossible. Here I will share my passions and adventures, but most importantly, I will showcase who I am in hopes of encouraging someone who is struggling.
Where I found myself.
For me, writing, adventure, and dream chasing are essential to living a fulfilling and complete life. These pages will highlight those things and will typically be linked to emotion or depth in some form.
Finding yourself is one of the most important aspects of life. So, I want to share one unique aspect of my outlets, of my lives… poetry and writing. What words actually mean to me:
The pen has always been a weapon in my hand,
To combat loneliness,
Inspire hope,
To hug me when I was abandoned,
It embraced me when I was depressed,
Letters revived me upon my attempt at death.
My heart blossoms with words because I can,
I can create change,
Inspire a world,
Change a horrible day,
Build a brighter future,
And captivate the broken through my voice.
For me, writing is not a hobby,
It is a way of life,
A dream,
New missions,
Unique perspectives,
Inspiration for the masses.
Letters are a part of my heartbeat,
Words aid in filling my lungs,
Sentences help me see the beauty of life,
And paragraphs are the building blocks of my future.
My life is the novel I’m working to create through these letters.
It has taken me a lifetime to quiet the voices in my head, to stop the self-doubt, to write unimpeded by negativity, to take trips alone, but these things have allowed me to feel truly alive. With these words, if I can inspire just one person to chase a dream, to run towards adventure, or to love themselves and their dreams, I have been successful.
So, let’s inspire the world together! Let’s find ourselves, explore the uniqueness of the world around us, and ensure we use every minute of our day to give ourselves the life we deserve. My words are meant to show the world that we are the heroes in our own stories, that we can hold the pen at any time, and we can write our futures the way we dream they should be.
