I started Warrior Letters with the intention of encouraging others who may be going through things that I was currently facing as I went through it. Some stuff I wrote about on the back end of healing and was able to add a little bit more of something potentially helpful to any who would find themselves reading the posts. I fought to find a style that would fit; thinking I had to have a sort of writing etiquette to post something of merit. Do I use big words? Do I keep all the fluff in when writing? Am I over sharing on this post? Does this paragraph sound too preachy? and the best of all…I don’t even follow this fully or have this going for me, but I guess I can use this scripture to encourage someone else to do it. (Complete mic drop) And not even the kind where it’s because you just dropped gems but because I dropped the ball and ultimately figured it better to feed the feed with something that was anything but me; anything but real.
So here is to Warrior Letters, coming out of a 2 year (and some change) hiatus, and changing up the writing style all together. There isn’t anything polished I have to offer anymore. In fact, much of the posts, with intent to steer away from perfectionism, will be in a journal style of text. If I use big words, I promise it’s because it was the one that popped in my mind when I was really sitting there typing it (or to paint a better picture) and not to sound more educated than what I currently am. If I use simple language, well, it’s because it’s coming out that way too and sometimes I can complicate things by using too many words and having run-on sentences like this one but hey…what can I do but present what it is that I have while I step away from everything that led me to the place I shockingly found myself in June of 2024. Another post on that at some point…in which I will be sure to include a link and maybe even title it “The Place I Shockingly Found Myself in June of 2024“ I promise it’s not click bait, but a really difficult story for me to write…so much so that I wrote this introductory post instead of writing the one I said I would link to this one so………………..Here goes.
Here is to the new and (hopefully) improved Warrior Letters Blog, to a life of no filtering and no perfection, and to honesty (which really shouldn’t be something that has to be disclaimed but hey…since I wasn’t full frontal honest with the other posts and where I was coming from, I think it fits here).
Thank you to those who are still subscribed to the blog, thank you to those who are just tagging along, and thank you to those who realized this isn’t for them without leaving sassy comments. Many of you I don’t know and I’ve never spoken to you, not even over the interweb, but I appreciate you being here, so much so, I knew I owed you the truth. I hope you stick around while I unpack and get comfortable in the messes I’ve made so they can finally get cleaned up, for real this time.
