So writing for me is how I process my thoughts and I'm dumping it onto the internet, not thinking it's going to mean anything.
Then people start connecting to this blog and now they're being inspired.
And I'm like, oh Lord.
Totally.
I didn't mean to open the cupboard.
Not inspired by me.
And so I was like, you know what?
I'm going to slow this train down by telling them, like, I got pregnant at 13 years old.
Like, I'm going through a divorce.
I dropped out of college.
I am not your inspiration.
And then I still was.
They were like, oh my gosh, me too.
Oh my gosh, I'm no longer alone in this.
I didn't know that someone else felt this way.
And now all of a sudden, those things that I thought disqualified me, those things that I thought I could never use are the things that people actually had a taste for.
Hmm.
This authenticity, this truth, this uncertainty and this willingness to own it.
There was an appetite for that, that at the time it felt like very few people were willing to say, this is who I am.
This is what I've gone through.
