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.
