Writing has always been my safe space.

The place where I can be vulnerable and let my thoughts wander freely.

That’s until I got in my own way.

Well, not entirely true.

You know how when you’re a creative you draw almost all of your musings from your own life?

Yeah. I got a lil scared about writing about the people in my life.

Of course, if I’m writing, it would be from my perspective; my experience of the person and situation. But then, I’d be like, “What about them and their side of the story?”

I know. I care a bit too much.

Or maybe I found a perfect reason to keep me from pursuing the thing that truly makes me the happiest.

And no matter how far I think I run from the call, it’s always there with me. Because it is me. It is what I was meant to do. At least one of the things and I think it’s about time I just let go of the fear and commit and do it.

If nothing else, I will be living a fulfilled life and that’s worth a whole lot.

I mean, Jesus did come to earth so I may have life and have it abundantly. It truly is the only right thing to do.

What’s your thing?

What are you maybe running away from mainly because of fear?

XO,
