The Shape of Life

Everyone has things that they go through in life that define who they are as a person. Our lives are defined by all the good and bad we go through. I have always been a pretty open book to almost anyone I meet. It’s not that I want pity or sympathy, but I believe that not only do our stories explain us, but they might resonate with someone else. Everyone’s stories are unique, but finding common ground can be one of the most comforting things because we often feel very alone. I have written this blog many times. I have started it, I still have a lot of my stories written, but to me, it is almost therapeutic to write it down. To put my story in front of someone who may understand where I’ve been or where I’m going. If you already know me, it may help to not excuse my behavior but explain it a little. If you already know some of the things I write, you don’t have to read them. This is for me just as much as it is for anyone else. My life has been shaped by trauma, but it has also been shaped by incredible happiness in being a mother and more. It is shaped by my passions and my voice. It is shaped by so many things and I hope to only discover more about myself during this trial. So if blogs are your thing, sit back and enjoy. If they’re not, that’s ok. Maybe we’ll contact in another way in another place.
