Hi, I'm Maisie.

This is me living authentically.

 

I'm a journalist, editor and writer, but most of all, I'm an overthinker. I spin webs of thoughts in my mind until the only way I can make sense of them is through writing.

​

For awhile, I failed to find a place where all my thoughts and feelings were validated. I attempted to alter my ways of thinking and expressing myself in order to gain acceptance. 

 

Eventually, I gave up. 

​

So, instead of finding where I fit in someone or something's puzzle, I started building my own frame – one without ridged edges that separate it from what doesn't perfectly align.

​​

I embraced my busy mind and unique perspectives. I stopped being afraid of approaching strangers. I told bad jokes. I sang out loud to music in my headphones, twirling while walking along empty sidewalks. 

​

Acceptance costs nothing to give, but has infinite value to the receiver. 

​

I couldn't express an overflowing abundance of love and acceptance for myself and others until I started disregarding misled insolence to focus on raw, all-encompassing humanity.

​

I never started truly living until I was living authentically. 

​

I hope that you'll join me in promoting a world where we can all share our truths without fear.
