I finally found some space to feel safe being me and find sense of belonging and love within myself.

The courage to be me

I was told all my life I’m too emotional to be strong. Medical trauma and emotional abuse broke me completely by the time I was 20 and I had learned to be scared of being me.

All my life I dealt with severe depression, PTSD and ADD but most of all the excruciating pain of being too wrong. But I was blessed with enough strength, courage, creativity, passion, and support of my loved ones to build a life and rebuild my self over the years.

It’s been a long road, filled with moments of absolute bliss and the deepest despair, but I finally found some space to feel safe being me and find sense of belonging and love within myself…
