I have been successfully running this blog for 2 years now, and it feels like I just started. For a moment of transparency, I created this blog to bring motivation, encouragement and hope…for myself. Yes, I was the in need of inspiration and hope, because I had lost mine. Essentially, I turned my journal into a blog, because I was tired of locking my feelings up in a NOTEbook! It was my way of crying out, and hoping maybe, that someone would take notice and save me. I didn’t realize how many people needed saving themselves, until I created this platform to allow my voice to be heard, and your pain to be soothed. I don’t always feel like writing, but I continue, because I just know someone is being impacted by my words and experiences, as they attempt to overcome their own. Admittedly, I obsessed over numbers, because I felt I didn’t have enough ‘followers’, but what I had more than anything, was an outlet and safe space to be my true, authentic self. I knew I was opening myself up to exposure, criticism and potentially negative comments, but I didn’t care. I was just happy to no longer be behind closed doors. I’ve never considered myself an open book, and I still don’t think I am (entirely, at least). However, I THANK YOU for reading my story, and maybe one day, you’ll be able to share your own!
Until next time my NOTE takers!
Writefully yours,
Deetra La’Rue
I love that you are very transparency and because that I am becoming the woman God made me to be! I love you keep writing no matter what because if you got me it’s so many other women and men need to hear that you might not have all together and it okay just keep pushing and never give up ❤️
