Consistency

 Hello Readers,


      As promised, here is another post for my blog. I just wanted to give a quick update for my book and I managed to type up my first full chapter this morning. You see, I'm not sure if I mentioned in my previous post, but I had handwritten almost 10 full chapters of the book in a notebook. The smell of pen ink on top of the texture of pen indentation on the paper gave me satisfaction back in 2018. It was also easier at the time to hand write my thoughts. Now, I see the importance of having a computer so that I can better gauge how much progress I'm making with word count. Here's to writing more of my book and blog

Let the Sky Fall and Burn

 Hi Readers and Happy New Year. Here's a trigger warning for sensitive topics below, but I hope you enjoy this post! There’s this old saying “Home is where the heart is”, but I have always struggled with belonging and figuring out where “home” is for me. Last Sunday, I tried getting back into a schedule for posting and pulling cards, generally just trying to get back to making everything I started over the past few years a thing. With that, I pulled an oracle card for the energy I needed to have to follow through with, and it was Full Moon in Aries which calls for honesty and a return to the fire I had. Hestia, the goddess guiding me this month, also asks this much of me and to do it gently. Writing is one way that I can return to myself and to reconnect with the fire that burns inside. Especially when memories and the trauma that resides in those memories fights to overwhelm me. On my facebook page, I announced that along with growing up with undiagnosed autism, I grew up with und...

Awakening to the Call: Finding My Voice Where Others Refuse to Listen

  Hello Readers,   Living in a time where everyone seems content with what they’re doing or even sure of what they want to do is really daunting when there’s a lot of options. There is also the lengthy process of weighing the pros and cons of choosing what to do that proves just as difficult. For me, it’s these two combined with knowing that whatever I wanted to do needed to fit me and my whole personality while giving me the confidence to keep doing it.   Finding my calling and my purpose has been difficult because I never genuinely believed in myself. This is partially due to Imposter Syndrome and me believing that everyone is better than me. While it is worth noting that there are people better than me at writing, it does not negate the fact that my voice is worth hearing. Sometimes I feel silenced by others who talk over me and other times I silence my own self because the people I aim to talk to are imposing as heck. It finally took me realizing that if I wan...

Releasing the Light

 Hello Readers, I am not sure how deep I am going to go with this post but I am allowing myself to be seen regardless of where this goes. I have hidden myself for so long that I don’t fully know what it means to be seen. It seemed that every time I outgrew my shell, and ventured out to be social-able, that I didn’t truly know what was going on. It felt like I was stuck in the past or a time loop, like I was always blindsided, but I won’t allow that to happen again.  I’ve lived for the happiness of others for so long, and it got me nowhere, so I am here to tell you that doing what I am doing, becoming who I am meant to be, is what makes me happy. I care about people and want to spread hope, shine the light within me and be myself, because doing that means the world would be a better place.  It also reminds me that for me to gain something new through the new moon phase, I must let go of something equally important. So, I chose to release sheltering myself, letting go of my...
