I'm nervous to be doing this. I haven't written anything substantial in at least five years. I want this to be good. I've always had a passion for writing. It started when I was young. Second grade if we want to be exact. I had a journal of mine stolen and published anonymously in my school's literary magazine when i was a junior and haven't had the courage to pick up a pen, pencil, or use a keyboard outside of academics since. This scares me to death. I write very personally, and I can get into some pretty rough head spaces trying to get all of the things floating around in the space between my ears out so i can sleep at night.

Although, if anyone reads anything I write, don't be gentle because I'm scared. The world has never been gentle, and we all have to face our fears sometime. Help me grow, but don't baby me. I need this more than anything I've ever needed before. I've been so lost without writing. It's been eating at my soul. I think it's time now that I start getting back to all of the things I gave up, when I was too young to be strong. When the demons still tore at my skin. When there was no light in the dark. I'm ready now.

I'm Ready Now.
