Hi Colleen, I don't think I've written you in years (referring to your Tumblr). I just came across your page again and saw you got married and with all the heartbreak you poured in to your writings over the years, I was always struck by how you took what h

Wow, Brian! Thank you! It’s weird when I go back and read my old writings and realize how much hurt went on in my heart during those times. Don’t get me wrong, I still feel hurt just in different ways now and still have such a long way to go when it comes to my own personal healing and growth. Some people will say “you’re married! you must be so happy” and I am, but I still feel moments of sadness and aniexties. My husband is a little sweet baby angel in my life and without his love, I couldn’t even imagine the state my little heart would be in. He’s given me so, so much happiness, warmth and love. But you know, when there is sadness rooted in your heart that’s been there since you can remember, it’s hard to get it completely uprooted. Anyway, that’s my rambling for the day! But seriously, Brian, thank you for your kind and inspiring words because even if you don’t think so, you’ve made me feel motivation to start molding that hurt into some type of art form again. I’ve been in a creative slump for some time now and this has made me want to pick up that pen again. Even if it’s for a moment.
