All About Me and My Love for Writing

 Hey Wise Writers! My name is Grayson Freeman. I am from Charleston, SC. I live in Summerville, SC. I am the oldest of 4 siblings. I have two brothers and one sister. I am a college student at Charleston Southern University, studying Communications. My goal is to attend graduate school and become a speech therapist. One of my hobbbies is obviously writing. Some of my other hobbies are spending time with family and friends, going out in the boat, going to the gym, line dancing, trying new coffee shops, singing, and reading. Now for the question you have been waiting for... what caused my love of writing? I have always been a creative person for as long as I can remember. I was never good at sports. I have always been gifted in writing since I was a little girl. I learned how to play the piano in middle school. Although, I haven't played the piano in years. I'm not sure I even remember how to do it... haha. Back to my love of writing, I have always been a writer even if it was just writing about my day in my diary. I found my talent of creative writing, specifically poems and songwriting in middle school. Middle school was probably the hardest years of my life on every front. I wasn't accepted or welcomed into my middle school. My parents marriage was unhealthy and falling apart at the time. Thankfully, they are still happily married and just celebrated 25 years of marriage this spring. Anyways, I digress. Writing has always been an outlet for me where I could pour out my feelings and express them without fear of being judged. I really dove into my writing because I would just write out all of my emotions. I also love writing because I wrote from other people's perspectives whether they were aware or unaware. One of the first songs I ever wrote was about one of my middle school friends breakup. As the years went by, I wrote my deepest, darkest thoughts, worries, and fears in the form of songs and poems. However, I also wrote about my hopes and dreams. But, most of my writings are about negative feelings because writing was how I felt understood. This blog is going to be about me sharing my poems and songs with all of you. I want to do this as a way of showing you that you are not alone and we all have more in common than you may think. I want this to be a safe-space where we can be our most authentic selves and voice our hardest struggles. That is my main goal for this blog. There will be a couple rare occasions where I will review a book that I have recently read or am currently reading now. The message I want all of my readers to walk away with is this:sharing beautiful stories that showcase the beauty of life. Always remember there is beauty even in the struggle. I look forward to sharing with all of you.

Darling, give yourself the freedom to write what's eating you alive.

My 21st Birthday!
