"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." -Maya Angelou
As you write and bring light to your story, a deeper self-awareness emerges. You begin to connect the dots in so many ways. Why do you think the way you do? Why do you have so many of the feelings you experience? Why do you behave in certain ways? Why are you staying in unfulfilling relationships? Why do you allow people to treat you in ways you don't like? Everything starts making sense. You will see your life with more clarity than ever before.
