Intros

Hey hey. Welcome to my blog =)
My name is Leslie. I'm 24 years old and I have social anxiety disorder. It's made my life extremely difficult, but it's also made me strong, because I chose strength. This blog will document my spiritual journey, along with whatever thoughts I may have on the matter. It is my sincere hope that you, my readers, will be able to gain something from my words, be it insight, truth, humor, whatever. Take what strikes you, leave the rest.
A little about me. I'm a writer and crafter. I crochet, I make jewelry, and I spend a lot of time thinking. In my case, the mental has tried to take over the entire system, but I'm working on trying to change that. I'm trying to make myself more active, more proactive, more assertive. My voice flourishes through my writing, and that's why I chose this medium to connect with people and to expand my energy and my influence, and to open myself to others' influence, positive, of course =)
The people I am trying to reach are not much different than the average person walking down the street. Anyone who is interested in developing himself spiritually, anyone looking for truth, anyone just looking for an understanding ear, I welcome you. I have only just begun this journey myself, and anyone who is looking to teach as well as learn, I welcome you. I share with you my awakening experience, and I hope to hear yours as well.
I've spent a large part of my life cutting myself off, in the dark, and miserable. I'm working to change that. I'm on this path fully now, and I'd love some company. I still have sand on my feet from the very first step, but I'm gaining momentum and finding my direction. Come along with me and we can swap stories =)
