Welcome to my journal

Hi, I’m Sharon.

And lately, I’ve felt the need to connect in a slightly different way.

Maybe because I feel like everything moves too fast. We live in a world of seconds-long videos, where we often feel we know someone simply through those little glimpses of their life.

We move from one place to another, from one thing to the next, and sometimes we forget to pause and notice what we’re experiencing in that moment.

The people we love. The things that inspire us. What we’re feeling. Even how we’re changing.

Because we’re constantly evolving, and I think that’s one of the most beautiful things about life.

How many times have we been told, “You’ve changed so much”?

And I think… good. That’s part of the beauty of being alive, too.

But over time, I’ve also realized how easy it is to pull away a little. To keep certain parts of ourselves private. And let’s just say the Aquarius in me tends to be quite introspective.

Still, I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember.

When I was little, I probably didn’t understand why I did it. Maybe it was therapeutic, or maybe it was simply my way of letting things out.

Today, I know that writing is one of the ways I make sense of my feelings, organize my thoughts, and, somehow, connect.

For a long time, that part of me stayed between the pages of my notebooks, tucked away in a drawer in my office or my closet.

And I thought: why not open them up a little?

Why not share some of those things that, even though they’re told from my perspective and through my eyes, might keep someone else company?

Because although we all have very different experiences, I find it beautiful when we recognize ourselves, even just for a moment, in someone else’s story.

Maybe we’ll end up being like two friends having coffee and keeping each other company on this adventure called life.

I don’t know exactly what this space will become. And maybe that’s the part I like most… or the part that scares me most, to be honest.

All I know is that everything you find here will be told from my point of view. Some things, perhaps, straight from the pages of my journal.

The things I love. What I’m learning. Because I’m an extremely curious person, and I’m always looking for inspiration in what’s around me.

In my own experiences, but also in the places I visit, the books I’m reading, style, the thoughts certain things bring up for me, and, of course, beauty, which has always been one of my greatest passions and something of a ritual for me, too.

So yes… let’s say this is a new chapter.

Chapter one.

And although sharing this part of myself feels a little intimidating, because if you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know this might not be the kind of content I usually share, it also feels lovely to do it with you.

With those of you who have been by my side for so many years. You’ve watched me change, discover different sides of myself, become a mother, and, in a way, also become the woman I am today.

I’m so excited to share this new adventure with you.

Con amor, xx
Sharon
