Starting this endeavor (blogging), I can honestly say that it’s been an adjustment for me. Of course, I knew that it would be, but I think I expected myself to flow with more ease. Before this, I went years without being on social media and sharing myself publicly for others to view. I have become accustomed to expressing myself at a more intimate level with very few people. And even then, those interactions (exchanges) came with their own restrictions. So I haven’t been in spaces that have truly required me to be vocal in a visible way.
It took me a minute to gather the words to be transparent about this. Over the past two months or so, I’ve been going back and forth on how to present this truth. Whether I should give a detailed post or a simple one. Should I be deep or just give it straight? Am I oversharing or sharing enough? Is this even worth sharing at all? Yet, what’s being revealed to me is that I am being from a place that feels like I have to be or show up in a certain way to be in truth. Truth isn’t rigid. Truth isn’t performative. Truth isn’t forceful. Truth just is. Whenever, wherever, and however it needs to be.
With that being said, I look present to just being in expression, however that may look, given the day. And to trust whatever I feel the need to share is exactly what I should. There’s much to give, and so I will. Allowing myself the room to learn, grow, and evolve in this space as I do in every other space within my life.
Happy Holidays to whoever may read this. Wishing you your absolute best!
