What's up guys? It's Jamie Grace here. Welcome to the Jamie Grace Podcast. So in case you don't know, I like writing words and recently I've been sharing some of those words on medium so I wanted to share a recent article that I published and then

just share with you guys a little bit of like the backstory as to how I wrote

this piece and so yeah I'm gonna share this with you guys and I don't know if I'm gonna like

add background music or something later on but like if I do it would probably drop here

and if you haven't heard it yet that's probably because I

decided not to add any background music but here you go this is by Jamie Grace me

it's on medium and it says I stayed up late last night yelling at myself. It was so loud I couldn't sleep

But it was so quiet that no one could hear my mind reminded me of the awkward things I wanted to forget.

My thoughts embraced my insecurities.

My memories perfectly replayed the words I wish I could take back.

It was so loud I could take back.

It was so loud I couldn't sleep, and I didn't know how to shut it off

until I thought to myself,

what if there was something else that were louder?

I let my mind say what it wanted. I let my thoughts get their

point across. I let my memories play like a short film. But the full-length

feature belongs to me. I thought about the compliments I received this year.

I thought about the meals I've made that made me proud. I thought about the times I smiled for a photo and

the smile was real. I went into deep detail about each day I could

recall and chose to fill my mind with as many positive thoughts as I could.

Sometimes I try to silence negativity.

Other times I just scream beauty directly in its face
