I haven’t been spouting much. Part of that is because I’m an introvert but a bigger part is that I’m stuck and have been for some time. Now, I’d like to share why.

A thread…

I’ve been a writer ever since I could pick up a pencil. Journaling mostly, but also short stories, and I’ve long imagined my life and recovery might make a good book. I even started writing it.

Then, more life happened.
In a nutshell I had a near death experience, became homeless for eight months, lost my best ever friend to an accidental overdose, lost my trailer to a scumlord, ended up in an Assisted Living Facility, lost my eldest sister to cancer, and developed more health problems.

During it all, I found myself writing less and less. For me, it’s like slowly losing my ability to talk. The clincher was losing my sister. It’s not that we were very close. It was a shock to realize that my generation was now the eldest in my family tree and drawing near the end of our lives.

I know we’re dealing with a lot—potential wars and the election of a lifetime—and this seems like a deep subject for a social media platform, but I’d like to ask if you wouldn’t mind my trying to share more of my thoughts here.

I don’t expect to be a downer. Scared sometimes, yes. Philosophical and spiritual definitely. But not depressing. That’s not me.

I guess by writing this thread, I’ve already started. I hope I haven’t scared y’all off.

I hope you will keep writing…. The way we express ourselves changes over time and connects us with life- whatever the truth of that might be. So far my experience is that There’s room for all of it here… thanks for writing ✍️ 🩷💜🩵💚

Keep posting, Annie. I'm finding my voice getting stronger since I've been daily posting here...and I, too, thought I'd lost my writing after life had its way with my family. This is a good and safe place to speak your truth. Stay strong, and thank you for sharing. 💙

Thank you for sharing. It can be daunting to find the space to air out what has been happening, especially in such trying times like you have experienced lately. I hope you can find the space to write more again.

So many things.
1. I'm so sorry, all of that is so, so much to deal with, and the loss of a sibling, no matter how close, has a unique strangeness.

2. You do not need anyone's permission to speak, especially your own truth. Speak loudly, quietly, whatever works for you in that moment. 💙💙💙

Writing is a great outlet to help you deal with whatever is on your mind. I write things when I am feeling lost, when I wonder what my purpose is. Going out and experiencing nature rejuvenates me as well. I hope you find peace - we are here!

Annie, you be you! For a lot of people writing can be so healing and, if you share your words, might even help others along your own journey. 😘
