"There’s the story, then there’s the real story, then there’s the story of how the story came to be told. Then there’s what you leave out of the story. Which is part of the story too."

Hell yes!

I am on the cusp of change. I am wrestling with the decision to move out of my house and go out on my own for the first time. Looking for a “big girl” job. Trying to deepen and invest in friendships that I consider worth having. I am trying to become the person I want to be. I still want to travel and explore. I want to make art and write again. It’s just hard to break that expressive silence, even when it’s in the form of a blog post. For graduation, one of my generous gifts was a journal. I’ve only written notes from work in it.

"I would like to travel light on this journey of life, to get rid of the encumbrances I acquire each day."
