I’m fractured. We are all fractured, but that is okay. That is the message I intend to spread with this blog. None of us are perfect nor should we even try to be. We each have our own unique cracks and breakages that cause us to hurt, suffer, or feel lonely in our pains and anxiety.  However, we can start to feel a little less alone, a little more accepting of ourselves and each other, and a little less wounded once we start to become vulnerable about our failures and flaws. The flip side is more harm, hurt loved ones, and broken promises.

Ultimately, this blog is for myself. Over the past few years, depression and anxiety have sprouted up into my mind. Writing, vulnerability, and emotional processing are important steps of self care for me. I hope this blog can be part of my own therapy. Well that, and its a lot better than watching hardcore porn or an endless stream of meaningless YouTube videos. Nevertheless, if someone else gets something beneficial out of this project, I’m all for it. I just want to make it known that I am writing for myself rather than for an “audience” or the metaphorical reader.

I hope you enjoy the expressions of my fractured light. Be prepared for poems, prose, essays, pictures, and everything else in between.

So much love,

C.S.
