No matter how far a person can go the horizon is still way beyond you. -Zora Neale Hurston

I started writing at 9. And haven't stopped. I've taken and continue to take breaks, hiatus', whether by choice or by the forceful hand of life, I've never stopped. Never completely walked away from the one thing in this world that brings me freedom and creative license, the right to be myself. Freedom And the older I become, the more I experience, the more I struggle and stress or celebrate and triumph over, the closer I grow to this gift, this skill.
It's the one thing in this world that I know I'm good at. The one thing that I know proves and shows just how much I've grown. My writing, is hardcore proof and record of my transition from girl to woman. In it lies tales where stories are told of wants and desires, dreams, ambitions, failures and, trial and error.
My writing has always been the outlet, the place I've run to and continue to consult when life is tough, my mind's heavy, boggling, and unstable. It's where I express feelings and emotions that verbally, leave me mute. Where I express thoughts that leave me lost for words. But give me a pen and paper, a keyboard and a blank page, and magic happens.
I started this blog, girllnexxdoor, not to prove my worth, or to prove just how good I am. I started this blog to create an outlet whether for myself or for others, to come to and release. Though the emotions and events discussed and written about on here are pulled from my life and my experiences, I know that none of what I've written and continue to write about are limited to my experiences alone. So while I may webmaster this spot here, I'm merely sharing and putting words to thoughts and words that many of us may find difficult to express in life, in real time.
I write not for fun, and surely not for compensation, but because I have the right to. I write, to leave an imprint of my life. To show generations that will come from my womb who I was, who I am, and who I'm becoming.
Welcome!
