Like a baby animal stumbling to stand before it discovers its natural gait, we all go through periods in our lives where instinct, necessity and reality don't all seem that they can exist at once. I've been away from this place for over a year. There were moments when I thought I'd never come back. That it was all too much of an uphill battle and that I didn't have it in me to try so hard even though I really wanted this. Your constant questions about my relaunch gave me hope. Your support gave me inspiration and throughout this journey, I discovered a new strength, new lessons and a new yearning. And so, here I am. I am back! Thank you for never letting me forget the joys of writing freely.
Today, I am thankful for this place.

ReplyDeleteFrancia, truer words were never spoken. Walking through the hardest struggles is the only way to learn all the things we were meant to learn.
