Here's what I wrote today, Day 4 of Writing LOP

Is this even ok to share? What do you think?

What do you think of what I wrote today? The story goes on but as you can imagine it doesn’t end well for me.

Do you think this origin story is important to share with LOP readers?

How about you? Do you have any experiences like this with LOP?

What are you hoping to get from LOP as a resource and how personal do you think I should get here?

I’m genuinely scared to share this part of my story bc my mom told me my whole life to guard this secret to the grave yet I believe it is such an important part of why I am who I am today and how much of a difference this experience shaped me and helped motivate me to fix my life and get right.

Pls read the following snippets - Thank you!!
