As an English major with an emphasis in creative writing, I had the opportunity to work on an honors thesis for a quarter during my senior year. While it was more common to write fiction or poetry for the project, I chose to craft a collection of personal essays dedicated to making sense of some of the most pivotal and emotional moments in my life. As challenging as it was to revisit these painful memories, I found that writing allowed me to chart my thoughts on tough topics to gain a better understanding of complex events that I had previously attempted to suppress. What I came out with at the end of the quarter was an empowering product of reclaiming events that had previously broken me.

And its companion– “you need to love yourself before you can find love from others”. There is a preconceived notion that in order for someone to love us we must have confidence and self love. However, this is completely false.
