An introduction.
I call myself the restless millennial because my mind is constantly running. And over time, what I’ve found, is that getting these thoughts on paper is the best thing for it.
When I was young, around 8 or so, I started writing in my journals. At the time they were just simple stories about the little things I found exciting.
When I became a teenager, these stories started to evolve. My emotions started to make their way in, and I started to write how I felt about certain situations and people. These entries eventually became very therapeutic for my messy mind. Seeing my thoughts on paper helped me sort through my clutter. I didn’t know it at the time, but writing was like therapy for me.

I noticed that a lot of my journals would be written during stressful times in my life. I learned so much through reflecting on how I felt by writing. I’ve also found it to be quite a treat to read back on my life lessons.
I’ve also found it quite therapeutic to read other’s stories. Blogs, books, social posts — by reading other’s stories, it’s helped me understand myself a little more. It’s helped me understand and empathize with others. I believe that sharing stories is a core part of being human. We learn, grow, and connect through our stories.
And that’s why I want to start sharing mine.
