It’s hard to believe that 4 years have passed since I started Scribe’s Canvas. It’s been a kind of haphazard journey. Long stretches with nothing at all and then months of consistent posts.
I would like to thank all of you who have stuck with this blog over the years and its many stops and starts. It’s comforting to know that when life calms down again and/or I make more time to write that this blog is still here, waiting patiently.
I can’t say that I’m back for good, or even if I’ll continue to stop and start with jolts of energy, but I do have a pretty good feeling that after 4 years I know that some way or another I’ll keep coming back.
This blog was where I first started sharing my writing with the world. I used to miser it away, hidden from view. Yet, at the same time, I was mad that no one was reading what I had to say, exploring the worlds that I had put on the page. It was a trap of my own making. This blog helped me break away from that. In a way, it signifies the start of a journey.
A journey of facing my fears. A journey where I’ve slowly but steadily relaxed fear’s control over my life. I started this blog because I wanted to share my art with others, but also, maybe the biggest reason, was because the only thing that had been holding me back from sharing all those years was fear. Just fear. Fear of rejection, fear of doubt, fear of disapproval, fear of fear… And here I am, still writing this blog four years later. In the future, I hope to share more about my journey of loosening fear’s control over my life.
I’ve spent the last 4 years, slowly but surely walking up to each little thing I’m scared of and facing it. It hasn’t been easy. It’s been an exhausting, terrifying, draining, liberating journey filled with relief. I’m by no means at the end of that journey, but today I’m taking a moment to reflect.
This blog has been a constant in that. A place for me to create, share grow. It’s the starting point, yes, but it’s also been with me on my journey.
So, I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being so supportive of my writing, for being here when I inevitably find my way back to Scribe’s Canvas.
