Hey, fellow soul-searchers! It's Alison, and today, I want to dive into a topic that's been on my mind – the illusion of writer's block and the power of embracing self-expression.
You see, I've come to a realization. Writer's block isn't this insurmountable wall we often make it out to be. It's more like a mental block, a conscious hesitation to delve into certain subjects. We may feel a bit of stage fright, not necessarily about sharing our thoughts, but more about expressing the depth of our true selves to strangers.
And let me tell you, I've been there. Standing at the edge, contemplating whether to share the intricacies of my soul with people I don't know. But then, a shift happened. I said, "To hell with the strangers!" That's the attitude – a declaration of independence from the fear of judgment.
I've decided to name my collection simply "Me." It's a raw, unfiltered exploration of who I am. For those of you from Augusta, you might resonate with the sentiment of doing Mrs. Butler from the Augusta Mini Theater Inc. proud. It's about digging into the soul wounds with the music, creating a tapestry of emotions, experiences, and authenticity.
This is more than just writing; it's dope shadow work – a labor of love that involves confronting the shadows within ourselves. It's about embracing vulnerability, acknowledging our scars, and using the power of words to heal and connect.
I must admit, writing these blogs makes me feel less crazy. It's a cathartic process, a way to untangle the threads of thoughts swirling in my mind. And guess what? I hope reading these posts makes you feel less crazy too. We're in this together, on a journey of self-discovery and expression.
So, join me on this adventure. Let's break down the barriers of hesitation, explore the depths of our souls, and let the world see the beautifully imperfect, authentic individuals that we are. Because, in the end, there's no such thing as writer's block – just a mental block that we have the power to overcome.
Here's to embracing the crazy, celebrating the unique, and weaving the tapestry of our stories. Stay tuned for more insights and let's make this journey one of discovery, connection, and self-love. 🌟
Peace,
Alison wit one L
