Rewriting Life empowers the insomniacs, the dreamers, the emotional little sisters and fallible big brothers, the storytellers and risk-fearers. It makes laughs escape chapped lips and tears taint cheeks. Above all else, it teaches you to grow up strong and unapologetically sure of who you are inside.
I want you to grow up to be the person your 8-year-old self envisioned in the floor-length mirror in her parents’ bedroom. I do not want you to let the naysayers creep up on you. I do not want you to be stuck in a job, a life, a body you hate because you think it’s the right thing to do. Helping others, I’ve learned, starts with helping yourself. I want to help you get where you need to be in life so you can go out there and build a better tomorrow for someone else.
I want to hear from you. I want to know what’s making you jump up and down and dance like a thirteen year old and what has you on hands and knees, praying for strength. I want to hear your story.

Your writing is so honest! And you are so right about people having similar thoughts. I live in India, but I think like you! Anyway, keep writing. All the best.
That’s so nice to hear. I’m glad my thoughts aren’t just mine. I’m glad other people like yourself can relate. Haha, sometimes I scare myself with all that honesty.
You’re awesome, a kindred spirit and an old soul. I have been looking for a blog that exemplifies the small nuances of life and this is it. Thank you, I’ll reading avidly and you’ve helped my writing for my own blog.

Thank you for a wonderful contribution!

Love your blog! I can’t wait to read more of it
I love your blog, I love reading it. Slightly obsessed. How did you get on freshly pressed wordpress homepage? That’s how I first found your blog and I’m soo glad I did xo
I don’t know how they found me, but I was selected by my tags or something that day. I’m seriously glad you read it and enjoy it, because that’s what keeps me posting.
Hey Kaleigh!
How are you? It is Christina Ellis, from high school? It has been years since I have seen you. I stumbled upon your blog today and I must say some of your entries brought tears to my eyes. I never knew you were a writer, if I did I would have started reading your entries years ago. Your words are beautiful. I wish you all the best of luck in your future! I expect to be reading books of yours very soon
So glad you can relate! And thanks for dropping by and reading. It means the world. I hope you’re right
i will now have to check out sarah dessen. her name is sprinkled everywhere on your blog – and given the way you write – you know a thing or two about good books.
She’s the kind of author you get hooked on. Trust me, it won’t let you down.
I feel like my heart knows you because I see a lot of me in you. You are a beautiful writer and I look forward to reading more of your lovely posts!
Aw you are too sweet. Can we be friends? I am in need of some people in my life who understand me. I’m still trying to figure out myself.
I stumbled upon your blog through Kellie’s and I love your Free Write Friday Epi, so I think I would love your blog, too.
And I did. Will be reading you now. Here’s my blog if you want to know me. http://www.fiercerbait.com/
Glad Kellie’s blog got you here. She’s a sweetheart! I’ll check yours out as well.
It’s so great to find someone who share’s my philosophy on writing: “I write because I feel like God’s filling me up with all these mini life lessons and insights and I’d be a fool not to share them.”
Really enjoying reading your posts. Keep up the awesome work/play!

For this reason, I am nominating you for the Liebster Blog Award. The award is given to a blog with less than 200 followers that deserves a little more recognition. There are a few simple rules that go along with the award. They are as follows as passed on to me.

Lastly, don’t forget to add the Liebster blog award image to your post.
Best wishes.
I agree with Mikael, it’s like I’ve always known you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Your writing is so real. Bravo! Maybe one day we can go into a bookstore and see our novels set out side by side.
I like this purpose! Well written too.
