.THE TURNING POINT — A Publication of Life Stories
Calling all writers!
Ever since overcoming divorce, I had a strong wish to capture stories of how others felt when they faced hardships or their own fork in the road. Choosing to divorce changed the trajectory of my life and squarely led me to writing on Medium today. Sometimes I wonder where I would be now if I had not taken that route. But one thing is for sure: I would be very unhappy. Divorce was one of my turning points; for others, it could be anything else.
Over the years, I’ve thought about several ways of capturing others’ experiences. I started creating a couple of blogs for this very purpose, but then stopped. I did this twice.
Fast forward to now, I really feel like not only is it the right time, but I am in the right head space to put everything together.
This publication is tangible effort and proof of me taking a step to materializing something I’ve really wanted to do for a while. It’s a way to express my creativity, work on a hobby, and develop my writing skills. It’s also a testament to growth and overcoming self-doubt.
But, there is an element of wanting to help others… to help writers see how far they’ve come, to be proud of themselves and their decisions no matter how things turned out, and maybe to help readers feel inspired should they be going through something similar. I want it to be a collection of voices so readers can get a variety of experiences.
I welcome you to the publication and invite you to share stories of your own. I am excited to read your turning points and have an understanding of what led you to your ‘here’ today. Together, this is our story forward.
