I am a woman. I am blonde. I am not who you think I am. I am blood, bones, and feelings. I am a daughter, a sister, a lover, and most of all, I am a writer.
I created Flowers for Lovers to share my story. I kept a consistent journaling practice for the past ten years or so with the intention of turning my pages into a book one day.
When I started editing, I found myself deleting half the words I wrote, so I stopped editing. I realized that in wanting to appear a certain way, I was rejecting real parts of myself, the parts that make me human. So I stopped editing and made the decision to share my writing in its raw form.
Flowers for Lovers is a space for voice, visibility, and vulnerability. My desire is to be authentic, to express both the light and dark in me. I am far from perfect, but I love and accept myself completely.
Thank you for reading/listening. It means the world to me.
My wish for you is to honor every step of the journey that brought you here, to where you are today, and know that the future is truly yours to create.
All my Love, Lily
