Welcome

Welcome

Thank you for deciding on joining me on what is probably one of the hardest things I would ever do, but honestly thrilled, and proud of myself to work on and share. Those of you who know me, know I am very private about myself and my personal life, so if you know who I am, Hello again, if you don’t and are curious to know who I am? I had started this blog a couple years back but personal things had kept me away and from continuing, so I had to set my stories aside and focus on the living portion of my life away from the keyboard and screen. So, i wish you a Welcome Back, and thank you for following along and for waiting... that is if you haven't forgotten about me and this blog...but I hope you enjoy your stay!

I was inspired by someone very dear to me, to be able to share my untold story. Usually, I write in a form of a journal, which I still continue to do so, but only when I REALLY need to write. Before I wanted to use this blog / platform to not only build further confidence but to fulfill something I've always wanted to do and what a few others that have crossed my path and once mentioned to me before, that I should try writing a book, someone had mention to write a Dream book about the type of dreams I've had or to write out my life story, So why not create both in the same platform? I have to add I'm honestly not a Five star writer or anything, that has sold a million books whatsoever so excuse any miss spelling or anything that you come across. I've honestly always enjoyed writing, whether it was for an assignment for school, a Love/ appreciation letter to someone dear to me, so I hope you enjoy my blog or my digital book.

Just an insider: everything written took a great amount of time, reliving memories, thoughts, unwanted emotions and while fighting my anxiety, but here we are! A proud moment!

There will be topics covered of sexual assault, substance use, self harm, and suicide and anything else that prevent my hands from typing, or could be quite triggering to some but don’t worry aside the dark stuff, there will be the happy stories, the sunshine, the JOY and what other good stuff that I have come across. I promise.

A little disclosure:  all individuals, mentioned along my stories, are mostly people who I don’t have any interaction or anything, but for privacy reasons I’ll be altering their names. I will also only share my point of view of these stories or the occurrences of what happened on certain times and what conversations that we may have had, but as mentioned before I have no interactions with them of any kind. Only a few handfuls of others I still do, will be mentioned briefly. All these stories are from personal experiences and dreams.

A little about myself, I’m just a girl named Steph, or Stephany. I've never looked my age, so to you readers I'm neither older or younger, I'm Just Steph. I’m pretty shy at first, and fairly awkward- at least I think to be. Once you get to know me well I’m a kind person, funny, random, hopeful, a huge introvert and when I need the perfect amount of extrovert, and very creative - so I've been told. I enjoy lots of things such as reading, writing, drawing, sowing, photography, gaming, music and other fun stuff, I won’t bore you with all the details. You’ll get to learn more as you read.

Aside the heart filled stories, you guys get the chance to enjoy reading some of my personal journal entries or a written poem pieces, deep personal conversation with important people and therapy conversations, and get the chance to read some of my written pieces that I've written during the dark days, battling my mental health, or something that randomly pops into my head that I need to write down to look back at later and the good days, as promised. So, look forward to that!

            Now, if you finished reading and have made it to this point.

Once again, Welcome, or Welcome Back!

Let’s get started, shall we?
