Out of the Box…

I started this blog almost a year ago because I wanted out of the box. I wanted to share who I really am with the world, no hiding, no masks, no fear. And I have, to a point, and it has been very freeing.

Yet, I realize that I have not left the box as I thought I had. I write and then I edit, and I edit, and then I add to. And then I edit some more. Because honestly, I’ve come in pieces and I have tried to fit it all together on my own.

Confession time: I have not been my best self the last few years. I am a good human, but I have not been living out who I know I truly am. I have my good moments, but for the most part, I have acted pretty selfishly. And I realize why… because I had drawn lines in the sand with God. I have felt angry and hurt, lonely and betrayed, and I blamed him. He allowed the pain and rejection of the past few years, and I have boxed him out because of it, and in turn, I have boxed myself in.

But no more. No more. So if you truly want to know who the real Leslie is… Stay tuned.
