Neglected Notes

Introduction

Hi, and welcome to my blog! This blog serves as a journal for me to share my personal thoughts and experiences with all of you. I have been writing pieces since high school (probably longer), and, at 32 years old, I have yet to be able to put down the pen.
Writing has always been a passion of mine. My ability to paint my experiences and emotions with words serves as a lifeline for me. Through my writing, I have been able to process a lot of difficult things and have learned a whole lot about myself along the way. My pieces have been there for me and offered the comfort and support I needed in a way that no one else ever could. They give me clarity in a mind that feels otherwise terrifying and chaotic. They are my stability and refuge. I don’t think I would have survived this long without my own words written in a notebook somewhere for me to recite back to myself when no one else understood me.
I write a lot of somewhat pessimistic prose as well as formal poems. I am a sufferer of CPTSD which has either warped my perspective or allowed me to see and feel things maybe a bit more acutely. Either way, my writing has saved my life in too many ways to count, and, for reasons I can’t quite explain, I feel obligated to allow my writing voice to exist in a place for others to read it.
Whoever you are, wherever you’ve been in life, I hope my words can offer you some calm in your storm and provide you the same comfort and shelter that they have for me. Through reading my writing I hope you feel a little less alone in this messy world. If not, may my inner workings be at least somewhat thought provoking to you.
