“Walking in nature with a smile on your face is the best medicine,” Unknown.
I’ve been doubting my writing lately. A lot.
It’s led me to stay away from blogging.
But they say, “Write what you know.”
Well, my illness is what I know best.
As a blogger, I use my own personal thoughts and emotions and experiences; always keeping it real.
Writing motivates me to feel.
It drives my creativity.
It moves me to tears, gives me hope, allows me to dream, and helps me to heal.
My head, however, keeps telling me to stop writing, stop sharing my thoughts and emotions, and experiences.
Stop letting the world know exactly how I feel.
Just zip it. No one cares.
Imposter Syndrome 101.
But today, as Rich and I ventured out for a #summerofrich hike, connecting with nature gave my overactive mind the respite it truly needs right now.
It soothed me.
Mostly, it helped to remind me that I am enough and that I am truly blessed to have such an incredible community that supports me.
