Everything I Could Say

For as long as I can remember, I have been silent. Silent in a way that was detrimental to my very core. At first, I used silence to observe a room, but then it shifted into a personal superpower- invisibility. Inevitably, I cloaked myself into hiding and shying away from speaking up at all. I muted myself. Lately, I have learned to speak up, and here you will be able to read all the words I could say. These letters are retellings of conversations had, thoughts from my mind and some handwritten and sent to people whom I had much to say and had the bravery to do so. The words of strong empowerment require a mighty fee of courage.
