“The process of transformation consists mostly of decay and then of this crisis when emergence from what came before must be total and abrupt.”
— Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost
Messy captures moments in personal evolutions, sharing the full spectrum of emotions and ideas that come during periods of dissolution and regeneration.
So many published stories in this content heavy age are written and shared from the vantage point of knowing the punch line, from having hindsight 20/20. Messy was created to give voice to the times in life when things aren’t so certain, not fully figured out, unfolding.
I hope this platform can be a comfort for anyone doing the hard work of transforming themselves from something that no longer works to something that feels right.
