Writing

I write because it is healing,

I write because it brings me peace,

I write to paint a picture,

I write to challenge

My words liberate my mind

Finding my voice freed my spirit.


We often submit our story for others to read and judge. I have found myself writing many statements for scholarships and admission to programs and think to myself where do those narratives end up. This is a home for my writing, a place for my narrative to go beyond the eyes of a reviewer and a place for it to exist as part of my healing. Maybe in having this space other on their journey will feel better able to embrace their full selves. This is a home for how I engage with Narrative Medicine.
