Oh, Tara. Oh, Tara. Im in tears. I feel lost in this world. Every day I’m faced with yet another obstacle within to face. More ugly truth to be uncovered, and swallowed with bravery. Feels like I’m ricocheting from lesson to lesson. Thing I need to do, people I need to move on from, dignity I must have. Risking my well-being for the small chance of fixing someone who sees me as less-than-human.

Growing up is tougher than anything this world has to offer, and I am weary. But, like the stamina filled youngster I am, I get back up over and over again, fiercely searching for the next fight within. Thank you for writing pieces that help me get myself there.

Love,

Leeanna

Leeanna, I have long believed that more is asked of some of us than others and I do not believe in random chaos. I believe in divinity and purpose. I believe that when we inhabit hardship and pain, we are present to our purpose and the lessons being offered. It doesn't make it easy and who wouldn't want to coast for a little bit (I think we all usually get a bit of let-up every now and then). This is a wild and wooly time, but you are here now for a reason. Tenacity and grit when you need it, love and reflection in the wake. xo
