Tori's Liberation

I’ll start out by saying I’ve always been a bit different, in both character and my approach toward things, an “out of the box thinker.” With this difference came an insatiable appetite for knowledge and understanding, needs of which were not often met. This unmet need and a lack of being understood by others caused me to pull into myself. I stopped talking to people, started doubting my judgements, and learned to observe and come to my conclusions quietly.

I never shared my thoughts, feelings, nor observations with others out of fear of being judged or shamed. I became a shell of who I felt I was, of who I felt I was supposed to be. It took me quite a while to realize that while I remembered, internalized, and personalized all the judgements of others, they seemed to move on with ease often forgetting the things that they’d said and done like its impact wasn’t considered whatsoever.

I decided to take a big leap toward liberation of myself and found that while many did not understand me nor wish to know me, there were some who did in fact stay the course. I became confident in myself, and found all that I had sought in the acceptance of others had always been within.

This blog is a way for me to liberate myself from the repetitiveness of my own mind. As not writing things down or venting my ideas causes them to loop in my head incessantly. I’ll be blogging a lot about my art, ideas and experiences, as well as about recipes I really like from time to time! 🙂

I think it’s finally time I put myself out there! This will be a really fun experience, as I’ll hopefully lure in, and get to talk to likeminded people.

Thanks for stopping by,

Tori
