Being gone from writing for a hot minute has left me with many reflections. I have been capable of reflecting on past things my blog has been about. I have also reflected on life and the past/current situations I have been going through my whole life. The earlier poems and writings I have written were vulnerable moments of pain. Raw and unfiltered the words would drip onto the keyboard as the tears would fall.

I know that many people who once read my blog have moved onto other blogs and writers. That’s completely okay! If you have stuck around during my hiatus, I want to thank you for your loyalty. Recently, I learned that a few loving followers took the pain that I wrote about. They have tried to use it as a way of explaining other people’s failures throughout my life. I want to clarify, these were MY feelings and me processing MY pain. Plain and simple. Please do not read these poems or writings and pass blame onto others for their wrongdoings. Do not infer anything about my emotional state and the words that were spoken. All has been forgiven. Time to move on.

With that being said, I am excited to be writing again. It has been awhile and I enjoy it so much. I am now working on a book. I hope to get it published one day, but until that time comes. Let the writings start! I am glad to be back!
