This week has been one of much self reflection. I got the fantastic opportunity to really dive into myself and search for something that I believe with my whole heart. I found some things that I thought were dead and gone came roaring to the surface as I told my story. The essay itself has a happy ending, and I am hoping that I do as well. This week was truly one of discovery. I learned the life lessons of my peers, and even hears new stories from people I have known my entire life. I was shocked with the beauty that came forward. The videos were not perfect, but that didn't matter. I was honored to see the way that people opened up and shared a small part of their soul with us. I think this week has given me a great amount of understanding for the people around me.
Looking back I can see how, in a lot of ways, the same medium that was used to hurt me is also what saved my life. I used word and stories to run away, and poems to set myself free. I guess I never knew how much of an impact words had on my life until I put pen to paper and wrote it out.
