linear
I think we all know
healing isn’t linear…
but these stories arewho is she
3 years ago now, i had just moved to vancouver, canada (hi wtf where did time go). being alone for the first time taught me so, so much. i was forced to face some realities & constant rattling anxiety.
so as i started to learn more about myself and the person i wanted to be, i became so overwhelmed by all the thoughts in my head.
my therapist at the time suggested i just try writing them out. so i did.
after a while, i realized it took me quite a while to scroll to the bottom of my note. i had written a lot.
i remember thinking to myself:
girl are you really just going to let all of the thoughts sit here?
help other people feel less alone the same way other authors have helped you.
you spend so many hours a week talking to tattoo clients & everyone feels some version of this heaviness, but no one is talking about it.
so after a couple days of pondering, i decided why not give it a shot. i remember sitting on the seabus heading to downtown vancouver with my roommate and good pal, erin.
i could feel my heart beating through my chest as i said,
i think i want to write a book. if it makes one person feel less alone, then it is worth it.
erin, being the amazing, beautiful creative soul sister she is, immediately said yes.
as we approached waterfront station, we hunched over my phone reading some of what i had recorded over the past couple months.
we stood to exit and she hugged me.
fast forward two years later, this book is coming to life. it has been one hell of a healing journey to get this baby into the world — but she’s ready. i can feel it.
i have so much more to fill ya in on but that’s my max capacity for now.
