You Are Beautiful!!
Hi Dear Krislin,
Happy Birthday Dearheart!
I was and am so touched by your kind and intense letter you wrote me. Before anything else, THANK YOU from my heart for your heartfelt and passionate words towards my writing. I am so grateful that your journey led you to my blog and that it touched you so intricately within. Your response moved me to tears also. I agree with you, us meeting like this had to of been God's doing.
Going through the years of pain and solitude within my heart seemed so unbearable while I went through it. I can imagine it is the same for you. I too love to write, always have. I also used to be so scared of baring every facet of my life, heart and soul to others through my writing, so I would tweak it, hone it and edit it until I felt it fit the mold of what others would want to hear. Then I began to wonder what I was doing...if I was editing pieces of my life through my writing, it's almost like I was lying to myself about my own life. It didn't eem right to me and felt as though I was going against the grains of my heart. Why leave certain parts out? I am a whole person, so why not share my whole story through my writing? I am very open, upfront and raw in my writing...all of it.
I am so so very proud of you, Krislin, for sharing what you have with me! I know you are scared of how others will perceive you and your writing, how others may or may not judge you bsed on what you write. I used to be too. It no longer matters to me because people will perceive it how it fits into their life. And if they judge, then oh well. I just hope their hands are clean before they do. Do not be afraid, you are not alone...you never have been, even when it feels as though you were. I am so incredibly happy you are facing your fears dearheart!
My dream is like yours, to be an author who touches people with my writing, nothing more, nothing less. Whether I get paid for it or not doesn't matter. Quite obviously I touched your heart this evening without even realizing it, without having a clue until I read what you wrote me. Let me share something with you... you touched my heart also. Don't sell yourself short, being here is not a tiny progress, it is a victory! One to be celebrated!
Thank you Krislin for saying I am a beautiful person...you are too. It is a tremendous gift that God has shown us to one another. Again Happy Birthday and please don't ever hesitate to write me, email me or anything else. If you need a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a friend...I am here. I am so happy you found your way to blogit! You have become part of a very incredible accepting family! I am also adding your blogs to my favorites! I may have inspired you, but you have inspired me so much too! Keep the faith and know you have a friend anytime
*Hugs back*
Love
Karen
