“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ~Maya Angelou
I struggled with this for a long time, especially when I was working retail. I wanted to write. I was constantly thinking about the stories I wanted to tell. But, I was so exhausted or my pain illness would flare up where I would come home and just go to bed. I’d have notes all over the place but I was just physically and emotionally unable to sit down and write as often as I wanted and it was hard! On those really bad days when the pain would flare up, and I could only crawl into bed and cry, it wasn’t just from the pain but not being able to fulfill my goal and dream.
But, now, I’m working a job that is not as physically painful and I have fewer hours for the time being. And, I am able to write and create content and I’m in a much better place creatively and emotionally and I can get those stories out.
