Well, my internet friends.. This is about growing.

I am a writer, I always have been. English, spelling and grammar are my weakest links for sure and it is the reason I took so long to start writing. But when it comes to capturing attention, igniting emotions and connecting with people, my words are my fire.

So I just had to start.

This blog is not the end goal of my story. This blog is my stepping stones into something new and exciting I have been quietly building the last six months. My favourite thing about social media is when you’re active enough, when you’re posting and interacting and building a community, you meet these incredibly inspiring people who end up wanting to support and encourage you into your dreams and for me.. This space is an outcome of being nagged by those people to start.

There has always been this underlying current of emotion behind the tenacity I embrace of ‘If they can do it, so can I..’ Now it wasn’t until I was about twenty-nine that I took a step back and acknowledged that my “doing it” was a lot more challenging than the people standing next to me. But looking back at the past version of Sarah, I didn’t want my circumstance to be the dictator and decider of my story. Not having what I wanted because I was sick was a no dice for me.

And no one is going to give you what you want in life.

I am strong because I had to be. I am determined because I want to be. A by-product of those things is bravery.

To speak out is a scary concept. Most will push back on you for calling them out on their behaviour and reality. Some will chose to look at it from your perspective, others won’t. The trick is learning to be okay with whatever the outcome is, and moving on with your life.

So what is this about? This is about learning how to be braver, learning how to strengthen my weaknesses and putting myself out there so I can find more of my people. It’s really that simple.
