Helping women to LEAN IN step into their EXPANSION and get TF out of their own way!
Welcome to my little space to just create for the sake of creation. For the sake of connection. Shedding my perfectionism and just putting pen to paper again. I created this space on Instagram at @therecklesspoet (give me a follow there!) but wanted to share it here as well. It’s too important to who I am and who I am becoming. 🌿 When I was younger I started writing poetry. I didn’t consciously say “I’m going to start writing poetry”. I had always enjoyed writing & creating. But poetry... poetry gave me an outlet to express my deepest emotions. My darkest thoughts, my intensity. Around 15 years old, poetry became my lifeline. A place where I could be me. Feel my feelings because I did not feel safe doing it anywhere else. I went through a lot of things around that age, and poetry allowed me to free the animals of emotions trapped inside me. It gave me comfort when I felt alone. It gave me space to be me in all forms. In all expressions. I didn’t have to stifle, hold back, censor my thoughts, sensitivity, & darkest moments. I could breathe into the words & rhythms & allow the paper to hold me & all of myself. 🌿 And although I’ve moved away from it, it has called me back deeply in the last few months. I long to create & write. I long to express & share. So this space is what that is for. 🌿 I am going to be sharing a lot of my old poetry. Sometimes sharing the stories behind them so you can see a little more deeply into my stories. Some things I have never shared on social media at all. Some things I’ve only shared with a handful of people. These moments in time, my deepest wounds that defined me for so long, are wrapped up in this poems. Sharing them with you Is me committing to being ALL OF ME in 2021. Where I come from & where I am now. So old & new poetry will be a part of this page. It’ll be a vulnerable space, but one that I hope can create connection. To allow others to feel safe and seen in their wounds & pain. In their creativity & sparks. In the highs & lows. To be a little more free to be as they are. Sensitive. Strong. Emotional. As I navigate doing that too. 🌿 I also don’t want this page to be categorized. Poetry will be a major part, but I want to share my creativity in all forms. Singing. Dancing. Whatever strikes me. I hope it inspires others to be free to create freely too. To just be you. In all forms.
