Adventures with Anda

Welcome to the gateway to my inner thoughts. Writing is how I understand the world, how I make sense of what is happening around me, and how I get myself through it. I try to embrace obstacles and remember my worth. The following articles are of my adventures, challenges, and triumphs. Most of what I write is raw and only lightly edited. This is the place where my words can flow free. Please be kind when it comes to grammar mistakes and long winded sentences, I write in a stream of consciousness style that tends toward storytelling more than literary mastery.

“I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.”

— Anne Morrow Lindberg

Writing Fuels My Soul

I haven’t written anything in about two months. I will tell you, it’s not a good look for me. And it has nothing to do with readership or my need for productivity. It has everything to do with writing being my expression of self. Writing fuels my soul.

Thoughts - November 17, 2023

Writing is a passion of mine and this is a way that I can keep that passion alive. Rambling is valuable. In these moments we can be closer. I shape my voice and begin to share things that I want to shout from the rooftops. Those will eventually go on the homepage. For now, these quiet thoughts are tucked here in my journal as a reminder to keep going because what I am doing is worth the effort.
