Pick Up a Pen

     Each and every one of us has a life full of experiences and stories.  We all have a story to tell of our journey as human beings.  Our pasts are full of lessons, accomplishments, trials, sorrows, joys, and experiences.  If we take the time to share and listen to other’s stories, we can learn so much from each other.

 Writing is a form of art, a form of expression that is so beneficial to the one reading and to the writer themselves.  Each of us has a story that we can learn from.  Pick up a pen, colored pencils, a paintbrush and share a glimpse of your world with others, it could really help someone.  A lot of times we may not know how to fully express ourselves, we may be fearful of judgement, or the reaction that we may get from others, but in all honesty, there is no right or wrong, just put the pen to paper and let it flow.

       Others may feel differently, but I truly believe that each of us were meant to have a special path and journey that helps us become the strongest and best version of ourselves that we can be.  I try to look at the trials and hardships as ways to grow even though sometimes they are hard to accept.  The human experience presents challenges that we all face and some that are uniquely ours.  Our stories and our voices are meant to be heard.  Even the happiest, most positive people have a story, looks are very deceiving.  If we are willing to open up, so many doors can then become open to us.  There are so many people needing to hear our story for motivation, hope, guidance, inspiration, and to not feel alone.

   No matter what the world has told you in the past or present, you matter and your voice matters.  It is an amazing feeling for someone to benefit and be able to relate to what we have to say, this can even help us foster new relationships.  Life is all about learning and discovering who we are and who we are meant to be, you have a lot to give to this world, so pick up a pen and see where it takes you!
