When I started this blog it was intended to be a customer review site, where I’d hopefully share affiliate links for things I try and then you could try them too. And I still use it for that a lot of the time.
But this blog has morphed into something much more healing for me. I have been able to write and express my thoughts and feelings about issues that have plagued me for years.
I often compare my experiences to others and think, “Wow. My life has been so easy, I have NO room to complain. The word trauma is not one I am allowed to use.” But that’s not true. Just because I’m not a child from a war torn village doesn’t mean I don’t have struggles to work through. Just because I wasn’t abused as a kid or physically harmed doesn’t mean I don’t have an inner child who needs healing and care.
It is such a source of comfort for me to write things down. Even though I still fear that I sound like I have a victim complex. Or that people will see the “real” me and be disgusted. I’ve worked hard to hide myself over the years.
To anyone who reads or follows along with my simple ponderings I appreciate you. I appreciate the time you put into reading my words. I appreciate the questions and comments and moral support. And I encourage you to find an outlet if you don’t yet have one.
