There is still something left.
Hello! I drove for the first time in 2.5 weeks and made my way to my second home, Columbus. I checked out the new Giadornis, hung out at the Crew Game, and volunteered my time serving dinner at the Homeless Shelter. It felt good to be back in my element of giving and sharing. Speaking of sharing
I feel honored to be working with Tyler Knott Gregson on our first project Tshirt. His authenticity shines through his work and also his willingness to join us in this new adventure. His poetry has always moved me in ways I never knew I could. My surgery and recovery set us back a few weeks but we are back on track for a September release date.
This particular piece spoke to me today because I'm struggling with being vulnerable with someone. Maybe I'm not ready? Maybe I'll never trust again? I mean, I have every reason not to. Can you blame me? Parts of me still feel empty. Like I've been gutted skinned-left with only my bones. Bones that I sharpen everyday to write the hurt away.
But I see these words and I remember there is something left in me. And that something will grow bigger and bigger the more I learn to trust again.
