I found healing through writing

I found my healing through writing. If you asked me years and years ago, if I would love blogging. I would have laughed at you. I think of where I’ve come from to where I am today. So in high school I was horrible at writing and not good at putting words, ideas and sentences together. In fact I hated writing because of how much I struggled with it. I failed so many tests and my dad helped me write all my English essays in school. He was my life saver. Words would get mixed up in my head often.

I did find out that I was dyslexic and not stupid like I thought I was. I worked really hard getting extra English after school for 3 years and pulled up to college level. Throughout college I still struggled with it. I had always wrote in journals about my life and dreamed of writing a book someday.

One of my counselors I had suggested that I write a blog it would be to a bunch of strangers. That was really intimidating to me so I wrote it like a journal. I started writing and I found it very therapeutic. Every year would go by and I still had not written that book I wanted to write but had no idea where to begin with that. One of my pastors suggested to write my memoirs in my blog. By then I had been writing for a couple of years. I realized that I didn’t need to write a book. So I wrote in this blog and realized that people needed to hear that no matter where you’ve been in your life, that there is always Hope. If one person was impacted by what I had written then I was happy.

I only write when I feel prompted to do so. I’m so glad that I never gave up on my dreams and discovered that I loved it write.

Thanks so much for reading my blog. I really appreciate it and have found that the blogging community is a great way to connect with others who love to write as well. ❤️
