They say the path is narrow—the path of the heart. It’s so truly unique for each of us, yet it feels vast in the ways it takes us far and wide as we walk it. This has at least been the way my story has unfolded.

It feels as if I’ve lived many lifetimes in this one alone. As I reflect over the years of my story, of all that I have experienced to shed the layers of myself that weren’t true, to come back to love, I see both a painful and beautifully woven unfurling. I see the redemption in reclaiming all that I am. I see a journey of moving through so much grief and loss and longing. I see a story of remembrance and revelation and forgiveness—of letting life break me open over and over to be able to fully live it.

Sometimes it feels so challenging to find words for any of it, this journey that is so messy and exhausting and most of all enlivening. But words can hold worlds, and they can heal, rebuild, and free. I hope mine remind you that you are not alone. That when it all feels too much and also not enough, when we’re hurt and ashamed and don’t understand, we just need to find the courage to speak.
