As you may or may not know, I write for MORE Magazine. The most recent issue, Women + Love includes probably one of the best pieces I've ever written. Not to say that the other articles you'll find from me there aren't great - this one still gets a lot of attention, hopefully for good reasons. But this time, I wrote strictly about me and my life. Everything I've ever written has been about opinions and facts and other people. This time, I let it out (in a non-direct-ish way).
Writing it was really hard. Probably the most difficult thing I've ever written. Mainly because I was writing it for other people to read. Normally in my journal is the only place I'll put everything down in words. But here we are - it's out there for anyone and everyone to read. That is incredibly scary for me to think about. However, it was so healing. I'm glad I wrote this piece. I think I needed to release a little bit of something I had been holding onto and now it's gone. I put a period on the last sentence and closed the novella (get it, because it was so short? Come on, I'm hilarious).
I hope you don't think it's sad, even though that's how it started. I hope you find the joy and love and happiness in the words. People come in to your life for many reasons - we hope they stay, but not all of them are supposed to. The ones that do stay... this is for you.
