What Is The Meaning Behind Your Blog Name And Theme?
what is the meaning behind your blog name and theme?
I... grew up in a small village in the countryside, surrounded by the woods. I used to spend many hours there, often with my father. But after leaving the village as a child, I barely ever spent any time outside larger cities, until I moved in with S this summer.
It's... nice, to be back. Even if this forest is different from the one I remember from my childhood, it still sort of... grounds me. I think it helps to be close to nature, when I try to... stay tethered.
...Well, there's that, and... It's a pretty stupid thing, but... S's last name is Greenwood. I suppose a part of me was hoping...
.........
...My name means "beloved saviour", actually. Incredibly ironic, as both my mother and father have repressed all their memories of me, which seems an unlikely fate for someone who's supposedly named after how loved they are. But here we are, now.
Even if I will never live up to the original meaning of my name, maybe it could be repurposed into something new and meaningful. Named after what I treasure, rather than after my parents' shattered hopes of what I'd become.

In the right spaces, you will be heard without shouting. You will be seen without showing your wounds. You will be understood without changing who you are.
You can be yourself without any need to alter your identity.
