I’d like to get back to writing.
It’s been a while since I dedicated time in my own space in the greater world. Actually, it’s been a while since I dedicated time in my own space in my own tiny world. Until recently, anyway.

Over the past couple of months, I have been writing a lot more in my journal. Filling pages with thoughts and doodles, occasionally a picture or two. Most certainly the regular list. I’ve been finding my freedom on the blank canvas again and it has been such a relief. It started back up because I needed solace in the quiet and uncluttered when things felt very busy and loud. It kept going because it’s something that honors my pace and thought patterns, molding around me as I curate the story and paint the picture unfolding. I finished this past journal in 5 months, which I also started days before I found out I was pregnant, so it holds a whole new story than any I’ve ever encountered before. It’s also the fastest I’ve finished a journal in who knows how long.
I’ve always been a big supporter of journaling, and documenting in general, but to have been able to pick it back up in this new and unfamiliar chapter of life is something I’m so grateful for. I don’t want to forget the moments in between the mountaintop events, because it’s the details that matter.
So, I’d like to get back to writing.

There are things I like to keep to myself, and that is what my personal journals are for, but there are also things I want to share, and that is what this space is for. Perhaps, through my sharing, we can build a community worth being a part of.

Here’s to documenting more + remembering the moments that matter.
