While I am here, I am not the woman you know. I may not be one that you can love. I created this blog because I need somewhere to share the parts that do not feel loved, not even by me.
I am a new mom with a breathtakingly beautiful, unequivocally sweet baby girl. I’m a coworker that smiles and greets you warmly, every single morning. The one who jumps and laughs and cheers with you when you meet your goals. I am a wife with a hot passion for my husband, a love that is irreverent and bold and unconditional. I’m the friend that always has the wittiest and quickest comeback, with a quirky type of humor that leaves you laughing – but with questions, too.
However, I am more than the sum of these parts, for I also have another edge. One that does not see sunlight each day. It’s a bit crooked, it wavers uncertainly, and it is not pretty. This side of me is what one might call, “dark and twisty.” This version of myself is not afraid of the end, she lives there.
Welcome, to the abyss. Where you can stare at me, as raw and as honest and as brave as I have ever been. And I will look back at you, and see you. Because you have seen me like nobody else can. Thank you.
Dark and Twisty
