Welcome

Hello there. Welcome to my corner of the internet, dear reader. I am happy you found your way here and hope that there is something you will get out of being here.

My guess is you landed here by chance while scouring the internet for comfort, laughs or maybe something a little more spicy. 😜

See, I am writing this to help myself overcome various traumas with a lower-case ‘t’. I have struggled with plenty of body dysmorphia, self-worth, feeling my emotions and being vulnerable. I have bottled up many things and with that has come a series of thick walls built around my heart and emotions, making me emotionally unavailable in many ways. I have also been a people pleaser, lean towards hyperfunctioning, and burn myself out due to lack of boundaries. Many of these have been rooted in emotionally abusive relationships, being cheated on more than once and judged for my appearance by family and acquaintances. Though, I don’t want this blog to be me complaining about these things or dwelling on them too much.

What I want to accomplish is the full processing of the things I have experienced as well as finding ways that work for me to release the stories into the wind so they no longer have a hold on me. Going forward, each of these experiences will show up as the titles/headlines of each post as writing prompts, where I will go into more depth of in the post itself. I have no doubt it will be a long process and writing a post about it won’t get rid of it completely. However, the exercise of reframing, deconditioning and processing out loud is part of the process of healing these things within me.

Some ideas I have as I write this first post involve writing some stories to rewrite the narratives I have been telling myself, give writing some smut a go (smut = steamy romance) to embrace the side of myself that is curious but has not been explored, and probably some posts about what I have learned. I don’t expect this to be a particularly structured blog, but more of a flow of what topics feels right at the time, like a diary of sorts – rest assured I will organize spaces for each topic to find the types of posts you are interested in. Really, this is an open experience to however I feel best to process what I have experienced in my life that have left a lingering bruise on my soul. Its time for me to liberate that which has been suppressed, and heal in order to step into my true self to achieve lasting inner peace. Its time for me to just be me.

I named this blog Embracing the Feminine because I feel that is the part of myself that I want to make peace with the most. Many of my experiences have made me feel I wasn’t safe to be myself, to embrace my feminine energies, that I had to be something I am not. Its not how I want to live my life, so we will chip away at each of these narratives until my feminine energy can thrive!

I realize I could have written about these things in a journal, hidden from the world. However, I am a strong believer that if I have experienced something, there is a chance that at least someone else has as well. If that’s true, then maybe they have something to learn from my experiences as well. So, that is why we are here together: to walk through one moment to the next, reflecting on lessons learned, where things can continue improving and to build a stronger connection to the feminine spirit within.

I am so grateful you have arrived here and I hope you gain something from my journey of healing and self-rediscovery. Now let’s begin!

P.s. I would love to hear from you all. Anything unkind will be deleted. This is meant to be a positive space for me and others to heal in. Please keep it friendly and supportive!
