I began this blog with the intention of becoming an outlet towards the articulation of my journey after my divorce. To share my experiences with others in the hope they would see themselves in the same. Not in surface ways... but at a depth that beyond relatability, would inspire change and growth. I endeavored to keep it as brutally honest as I could and to see folk take to it the way they have, without any promotion of it whatsoever, is quite humbling to say the least. Who's reading me and for what reason is not my concern. I figured if I could help just one... it would be enough. To see this blogs numbers hit past 60k is not so much a recognition of myself but I see it moreso as an acknowledgement of a need. The need a remnant have to see that they are not alone. That although they feel like aliens in an ever increasing unfeeling world... there is a space somewhere that mirrors what they know to be true inside. Proving there is life beyond the deadening world that surrounds them.
If you read me, I pray my words have been able to resonate with a truth you've either held to heart in secret... or didn't even know you held at all. And that maybe my artistically inclined "letters" have aided to ignite a fire in you that let you know that under all that scar tissue... you're still alive. In either case, that to me, is a blessing and a privilege. I will continue to be who and what I am folks. Rise or fall... we are the misfits and WE... are the real ones. Thanks for reading... I'm out..
