The Charmed Pages
In a world clamoring with the rhythmic movement of dreams, I wound up at a junction. My personality was complicatedly woven into the stories I turned — accounts of sentiment and dream that graced the pages, just to frequently blur into haziness. As the ink dried, so did my soul, and the fantasy of acknowledgment felt far off, practically inaccessible.

Writers
For as long as I could remember writing was a way for me to escape the real world and allow me to just melt away with a pen and paper. I didn’t have the ability to control or rewrite my reality. I didn’t have much of a choice, writing gave me that opportunity to be in charge for once, be able to write outcomes for things because at least when it came to my imagination, a pen and a piece of paper it was like the world was sitting in my hand.

Back to the classroom
Ever since I was little I loved writing. Every first (or furst as my illiterate 6 year old self wrote) of the month we would write in out first of the month books. It was also called journal time. We were tasked with writing creatively for about 30 minuets. We would do another 30 minutes after break then another 30 minutes after lunch.

The Journey Of A Lifetime
Around 3 years ago, I was 19/20 and not sure what I wanted to do with my life. There was quite a lot of uncertainty that would circle around in my head a lot of the time. One day, my boyfriend gave me the suggestion of writing down the thoughts that were making me feel stuck. So, I opened a notebook and started to write. It gave me a sense of relief that I hadn’t felt before. It made me feel like I could finally communicate what I was thinking, something I have struggled with for a while, something I have been doing my best to work on. This experience is what made me decide to post my very first vocal piece called “Family Isn’t Always Forever.”

They rejected my article 6 times yesterday.
It took me nearly a good 2-3 hours to draft, edit and re-edit before I just threw my finger down and removed the post completely. It's not that I can't handle rejection, I have developed pretty tough skin over my lifespan to handle it and learn to let go. But for some intense reason, I just wanted everyone to know my story so I kept pushing until I just wanted to remove my account from this platform and be done.

I have decided to write a memoir.
I never thought I would really write a book. I have dreamt of it time and time again but did not think it would ever happen. I thought the reality was that I would want to do it but I would never in a million years actually start it. After all, my perfectionism is out of hand. Eight years of therapy and I still have no grasp on it. If that much therapy is unable to help it, what will? Well, I received that answer today when checking my email. I asked a published author of an amazing book for some tips. (The book and author I am referring to is View from the Floor by Kate Berger, in case anyone is interested.)

An Unforgettable Interview With An American Icon. Top Story - September 2023.
In 1984 I was an education manager, and English teacher, in a secondary school. Though I loved my work I yearned to write, too. I had scribbled down all kinds of ideas that I felt would give voice to my creativity, talent and aspirations, but they had all ended up in the bin, being roundly beaten by low confidence, a lack of self-belief and simple fear about how my efforts might be received. But the yearning to have my writing seen by others only intensified as time went by.
