WRITE IT.
I write to remember.
I write to forget.
I write to elicit freedom
and rid regret.
I write until it’s exhausted,
collecting negative unconscious.
You can too…..
- Amanda Baker
Your impact deserves to be experienced.
My fear of recognition is also my desire for recognition. And when you accept both, that which you fear and that which you also long for, when willing to say yes to all of you, everything changes.
