I will no longer be jounraling in a public forum like I have been. I may not post any more poetry either, for that matter.
I need some time to get to know myself better and handle the darkest parts of my soul. This is something I've tried, and failed, to do publicly here. But ultimately, I was merely seeking the validation of others.
I need to learn how to validate myself, so that's what I'll do.
Thank you for all of your love and support, for all those that have enjoyed my writing. Thank you for walking through my garden.
But winter approaches and it's time for the garden to fade away.
With love, with gratitude, with admiration, with sorrow,
Jess.
