Letters of Becoming

This series is drawn from my personal journaling as a teenager. Every entry began the same way: “Dear____.” Writing just to write felt wrong. I wanted to tell someone, to share my journey; but at the time, I had no one to share it with. So, I wrote to myself, to the universe, or to a person I longed to reach. I left it open, letting it drift into the void.

That void has held every word over the years, both written and spoken. These letters of becoming carry that same intention. You don’t need to respond with a letter of your own. These reflections are pieces of my journey. I hope they help. I hope they heal. I hope they comfort. I hope they stand as a small candle of love, offering you a moment that feels a little less lonely.
