It was freeing to be able to write, and I learned quickly that I am not *great* at fiction, but I do enjoy reflecting and journaling.

I wrote "When Gradoise Meets Reality" that summer of 2007 (?), and I still struggle with facing my best intentions failing. 

it's humbling to re-read it and acknowledge that I still can grow.

it's empowering to re-read it and identify points of growth. 

But most of all, it's freeing to re-read it and then share it, knowing that I am not alone.

If you can make it through the 8 pages (sorry!), go for it.

​It's self-indulgent, a little raw and unpolished, and yet, still so freeing.
