I’m Back — And This Time, For Me
a soft re-awakening
There’s a kind of silence
that doesn’t mean disappearance
just growth happening quietly
behind the scenes.
For a while, life moved me
through chapters I didn’t plan for:
school struggles,
stalled dreams,
unexpected heartbreak,
NYSC responsibilities,
and the heavy weight of being
the first born who must hold it all together.
In those moments,
my words sat patiently in the corner,
waiting for me to breathe again.
But writing…
writing has always been my safe place.
My little world.
My soft inhale.
My reminder that I am still here,
still becoming.
So yes—
I’m back.
Not because everything is perfect.
Not because life suddenly aligned.
But because this time,
I am choosing me.
Gently.
Intentionally.
Without guilt.
I’ve learned that life is art.
Some days we are unfinished sketches.
Some days we bloom off the page.
Some days we’re just learning how to hold the pen again.
And that’s okay.
I want my corner of the internet
to reflect exactly that:
the rawness,
the softness,
the quiet healing,
the becoming.
So here’s my re-introduction:
I’m Kriss.
I write for the girl I used to be,
the woman I am now,
and anyone standing in the space between
heartbreak
and healing.
I write to breathe.
To feel.
To remind myself that life can be heavy
and still beautiful.
So yes…
I’m back.
Not as perfection.
Not as a finished story.
But as myself — finally choosing myself.
This time,
for me.✨😇
