what a wild, weird and wonderful fucking life.

Where, what, how do I even begin. It's been a hot second since I've written anything publicly and I've missed it. But this past season of life was one where I needed to go inward and stay there for a bit. My musings, my lessons, my story has been just for me. Yeah, I've dragged a few of you through the depths and back the past few months (THANK YOU) but overall, I've been keeping a lot to myself. Not in the unhealthy way like I used to, rest assured I've told everyone most anything that has needed to be said lately, but keeping my story mine for a while. I like to share and I truly believe part of my soul's purpose in this life is to share my story and help others share theirs, but sometimes we need to sort through those stories on our own first.

I've spent a lot of time putting the pieces of my life journey together and seeing how the good, the bad and ugly are all beautiful in their own rite. There is depth to my experiences and understanding that I think I've always been hesitant to share outwardly. Even if anyone actually knew the surface experiences of my total life, you'd be left with a "wtf" face, let alone the internal experiences that coincide. I still often look back with a "what in the actual fuck" but what I've learned over the past few months is to say that with a smirk and smile. My soul has been on a wild and crazy ride since they day we arrived on this planet. Each and every moment since has been shaping me to be exactly what I'm in the process of becoming. I can't say I totally know what that is yet, or if I ever will, but I've learned to trust that each day I'm living out whatever it is I'm here for, wtf moments and all.

So while I feel like I'm emerging from my cocoon, I'm going to savor some more me time for a bit. There are a lot of really amazing things brewing both personally and professionally, directions I never could have envisioned that feel oh so right. I don't know that I subscribe to the concept of time anymore but if we're rolling with the new year thing, 2022 is looking to be quite the continuation of this wild, weird and wonderful life.
