Hello World!

I’ve always dreamed of being like that fabulous woman from sex in the city. 

I can’t say I’ve watched much of the show, but I remember being enamored by Carrie Bradshaw writing about love and fashion. She had a job as a columnist; expressing herself through writing. How cool I thought, I wish I could be like her! I even dreamed of living in NYC when I was ten, but that wore off quickly when I visited one Christmas. The crowds, concrete, and trash were a bit much for me. But writing at a desk in front of a big window, now THAT I still dream of.

So here I sit today, writing.

I’ve written in a journal nearly every day of my life, since my first diary (gifted to me by my uncle at the age of five). Most of my writings have been private though. My musings kept to myself. 

This is the battle I have inside of me. Share, create, express…or stay hidden. 

Show yourself or Keep to yourself.

Sigh. I think this battle holds me back from my full expression.

I think there’s a fear of being misunderstood. Or judged. Or wondering if anyone even cares? 

I can’t deny this burning desire any longer though.

I love to create. It’s time to honor my inner child and face my fear of going to the next level of being seen. To continue healing my visibility wound.

I choose ‘show yourself’. I will no longer hide.

My favorite song as a child, Iris, is singing in my head right now. Music is a way my psyche and subconscious speaks to me. Maybe this song speaks to you too.

“And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am.”

I’m quite the hopeless romantic with a Venus in Pisces, but these lyrics aren’t about a crush right now. They speak to a universal need; our desire to be seen and heard.

While I’m an expert in my field, I’m also a cute little human who wants to connect. How can I connect if I don’t let myself be vulnerable and seen? I do want you to know who I am. I have so much to offer you and the world.

I’m willing to take the risk of being misunderstood because it’s a feeling I already know…so why not focus on cultivating a different feeling?

The feeling of connection and being understood.

I know there are people who will understand.

If that’s you, welcome! 

Welcome to my world. Welcome to my corner of the internet. It's a corner I’m creating as an ode to romanticizing my life. An ode to the misfits, dreamers, and weirdos.

Hello world! I am here!

Come follow my magical musings on nature, psychology, the esoteric, and life.

I hope we feel less alone on this wild ride, and you always remember you matter.

Thank you for being here.
