Welcome to illuminatedvoid.com !
I am so glad that you have joined me in this little corner of the internet. My name is Ali, and the purpose of this site is to share my writing. I anticipate my content will focus mostly around thoughts on life, mental health, pain and mindfulness. My perspective is influenced by my struggles with OCD and migraine disease. In addition, I am equal parts excited and terrified to share my poetry which until this point has lived only in private journals.
“Illuminated Void” comes from the idea that that the trance of mental illness can feel like an expansive black void. With help, I am learning to shine a light into the void and reveal what lies beneath with compassion and acceptance.
Life is in a state of transition at the moment as I learn to manage my health while incorporating self-care, self-compassion and that which I value most while slowly getting back to work. Many of us have similar struggles, and I would be honored to join in the conversation!
