about walk my shoes

Author's pictures

I created this space for honesty, vulnerability, empathy and compassion. For free expression of things I have kept to myself for too long. But above all, for understanding, discovery, healing and growth, in an attempt to find my voice, recover things that I have lost on the way through life and build some new ones.

What you'll find here are all my own words, thoughts, feelings and reflections. It's raw, personal, and absolutely terrifying to share, but I have chosen to do so. To unburden myself of years of carrying the weight of my emotions, but also with the hope that some of it will resonate with others and encourage deeper connections and conversations. Because if I have learned something in the past years of my own search is that some emotions, situations and responses are universal; that we all have our own world of trauma and drama and pain and joy and success and we are all looking for a way to make it through, to heal, to evolve and to move forward.

Things might seem a little scattered around here, because that's how my thoughts are at the moment. I'm hoping that the more I write, the more context I'll provide, and that the more you read, the more you will be able to understand where I'm coming from. Most of the essays are still draft versions -if I aimed for perfection I would never share- and the blog posts are written on the spot or edited versions of my morning pages and notes I keep on my phone. The poems are usually quick ideas that come to my mind when I'm too tired to think about it but have a lot to say.
