A return to Human-ness…

I believe it is time for the rise of authentic blogs again!

Who reads blogs anymore? Just me? Anyways… within the realm of this page you can find musings from the heart - relics I’ll keep here as if they are heirlooms, from I to I.

I thought about first-grade Tori - the one who fell in love with writing and the promise I made to her many years ago when I started taking journaling seriously. This version of me, here and now, is asking for something to be published.

Have I written enough poetry and life musings to take the shape of a book? Why yes… yes, I have. But the thought of gathering all of who I am between bound covers feels daunting. I know I’m ready but I’m also here, in Peru, far from those early musings I’d want to weave in.

So here, here I share. Here I write.

I write in hopes of bringing humanness back. In hopes of bringing authenticity to the surface through expression. In hopes of reminding the world that semi-good writers still exist. And even if I’m the only one who ever reads these words, I know future me will thank me. It was never about perfectionism, it was always and will always be about the good-enoughism…shout-out to Brené Brown for that gift of a life quote.

With all of this said, in essence my hopes are that perhaps, if I’m lucky, something you read here will spark your creativity. Your humanness. Your raw self, too.

Bless the Journey,
