pt. 2 "writing"

(CURRENTLY LISTENING TO)

"Truth is" by Jayd INK ... <-Soundcloud Link

 

Thank you first of all, for being here with me, braving my thoughts with me.  It's a scary, vulnerable place, but I'm grateful.  

I'm going to lead this entry off with a passage from the book bone which has stuck with me for awhile now and is one of the main reasons why I've started to write again, (shoutout to another one of my favorite discoveries of 2016, sister Glennon Doyle Melton, who actually reposted these words of affirmation from Yrsa on her IG):

"I suppose you're writing the truth when you're terrified."

Sigh.  

That's freaking deep. 

As deep as the breath I'm asking you to take right now.  Breathe it in.  Now, exhale it out. 

So here we are.

Here I am.  Terrified.

Facing my truths (by the way, a few of the cranes in my sky have been slowly disappearing).  This writing is supposed to help.  A lot of other things have been helping and I'll reveal them in no time ☺️.  But just so you know, it's nice to finally get my voice back.  It's been hiding out for awhile and I don't blame it-- it couldn't find its way out because of all the noise.

You hear that blissful stillness? I hope you can join me to see where all of this takes us. But if you only take one thing from this, it's this: if it scares you, write that shit down.

So far, Rina- 1 Cranes- 0.
