Your Story, My Story
August 17, 2012
Who are we before we become who we are? We’re still in there somewhere… hiding, playing with shadows until someone comes along who makes us want to dig in and share our story.
Where do we begin? We begin where we left off. We jump right in unafraid even in our being afraid. Embracing that vulnerable place stepping into the discomfort that is what it is. Honor the changes as they come, big or little. Words scritch and scratch across the page in release, never knowing what I want to say. Never knowing what I need to say until it is said. I go through life much like this.
Hold this space for words. Honor them as the release. I hear my own voice and the words that tumble out in stutters and stammers and shyness. Honor them as something separate and still the same as the alter ego, the more confident version of myself looking through the glass and back into my own eyes.
This is how I begin my story.
