FIRST WRITING: LET GO

This is me.

I've been writing for so long now... writing my name all over the kindergarten walls/tables (mum worked there, so her old work friend told me recently lol), at 6yrs old I started writing a book about ALL the animals - my teacher wasn’t too happy about how much paper I was asking for, fake parent notes for being late or trying to get out of school, school essays (lost confidence here, clearly couldn’t follow the format), love letters to boyfriends, letters to friends, work emails - oh the many work emails! 💯

More recently: writing poems, journaling and post-grad study reports and essays.

This year I went back to give academic writing a go again... currently half way through my two Masters degrees (business and legal) and realised that sheit stresses me out, sit in a sterile room and hope for the best lol. Lucky the other students are fun!

So what am I trying to prove?! I realised I needed someone to tell me I was smart and that I could write. A sense of approval. Then I realised even further, I've been living for approvals for 30 years.

And guess what, I’m smart yo... I get the A’s and high B’s. A's flow to me, and I’m never satisfied?!? The discipline kicks in and I charge right to the next life-goal or achievement. I don’t stop to enjoy and to be entirely honest, I get so bored of myself hahah.

However, when I write for me - that’s when I get into my creative flow and enjoy it. So I wanted to share me, from my heart. Not because I have to prove myself, it’s because this brings me joy. And I hope whatever you do in life brings you joy too.

Here is my first most vulnerable writing that set me on my spiritual journey, to download here <--- SIGN UP and you will receive my very first poem, named: Let Go. Once you sign up, you'll get the link direct to the poem.

This is one of my most vulnerable writing pieces that set me on my spiritual journey early last year and helped me heal and face my own inner traumas that were holding me back.

Not all days are fancy on this spiritual path and tbh it’s been lonely af... but finding me on the way has been the best thing ever and for that, I’m always grateful for the growth.

I’ll keep learning, growing and sharing cause that’s the only way we can all grow together.

Fakaaue lahi and lot of love,

Julie xx
