Life Lately

Song: Kanye West - Everything I am

It was exciting for me to create this space.

From the beginning, my idea was never to simply write for the sake of posting something, but to create a space where I could share parts of myself - hoping that my experiences, reflections, and ideas might awaken something within other people, the same way certain sentences or stories awaken something within me.

A lot of time has passed since all of this became real, but during that time, I struggled to stay consistent. Honestly, I spent a lot of time overthinking it, trying to write, but nothing would truly come from within me.

The blogs I write for Dear Diary and In My Room come from intense emotions and thoughts - the kind that stay with me for days until they finally turn into words.

I used to think I needed strong emotions to write something meaningful, but lately I have been realizing that even the quieter parts of life deserve to exist somewhere too, because life is not always made of feelings that loud. Sometimes life is quieter, smaller, and more ordinary. And maybe those moments deserve a place too.

I never wanted this space to feel empty or forced. Even when I try to stay active, I still want it to feel honest and real to me. I care too much about this place to let it become silent, and somewhere between those thoughts, In Between was born.

Dear Diary holds the intense thoughts and emotions.

In My Room is a place for quiet comfort and peaceful escape.

And somewhere in between them exists everyday life - the ordinary, softer moments that don’t always become stories, but still deserve a place of their own.

I hope this new part of the diary can also help you in one way or another - even through its simple topics and stories.

With love,

Chrissy
