A Journey of Daily Expression: 31 Days of Posting
Written on
Chapter 1: The Spark of Inspiration
The journey began with a simple idea that struck me on New Year's Eve 2023 while celebrating with a friend at a club: "I should post daily on Medium throughout January."
This thought surged through me like a jolt of electricity, almost as if a guiding force was redirecting my life’s focus. Traditionally, I’ve been skeptical about New Year’s resolutions, seeing them as a setup for disappointment and self-criticism. Yet, this felt different—like a call towards a brighter future amidst the shadows I had been navigating.
For those who have followed my blogs over the past year, you know it has been challenging. Nonetheless, it also marked a period of personal renewal. I’ve faced the stages of grief and separation, often believing I had overcome them, only to find myself starting anew. Despite the struggles of the past year, I wouldn’t alter a single moment of that journey.
“It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we’re alive — to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade.” — Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Now, after 31 days, I can reflect with pride. I recognize my resilience is greater than any attempts to diminish my spirit. Each person has the potential to reach their fullest self with the right mindset!
Over the past six months of more consistent writing, I’ve tackled subjects I once shied away from discussing publicly. This openness has liberated many of my inner struggles while fostering connections with an amazing community here. I even managed to write a couple of short stories along the way!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone for engaging with my musings and for your incredible support—I couldn’t have done it without you! Special thanks to @TTO and Edward Swafford for amplifying my work and letting me share my truth freely. Finding life after loss is truly a remarkable experience.
