Smeared Lines
The reason behind the name
Smeared Lines
The grey area between black and white. Our world loves to be certain. It has rules, laws, and politics that make it seem everything is either right or wrong.
Yes or no.
Here or there.
Left or right.
Truth or lie.
Love or hate.
But, life rarely stays within those boundaries.
There’s a quiet middle seldom spoken of. The space where you honor both sides. The world is full of opinions and opportunities to simply like or prefer, maybe not love and definitely not hate, just like.
The between.
The dash.
The and.
The more.
The less.
I chose Smeared Lines to hold my words because they are…
My truths.
My mess.
My longings.
My dreams.
My desires.
Life isn’t simply right or wrong. My words are my own, from a place of experience and healing.
I exist in those smeared (messy) lines between black and white, where my heart resides.
And it’s the place my writing comes from.
