Welcome Reader!

 Thank you for stumbling upon my page. For a long time, I’ve debated about blogging- writing my own personal experiences with trauma and healing. I’ve spent months going back and forth on this idea….

“Won’t it be too painful to rehash and think that stuff all back up?”

“What would be the purpose?”

“Would it even help someone? Would it help me?”

“Why…. Just. Why. Why go down this road?!”

The answer that I came back to time and time again, was that it could help someone. After all, I wish I had someone that truly understood what I was going through and could confide in without feeling judged… without feeling guilty… without feeling misunderstood… or having to explain why I was acting or responding this way.

I am a survivor of emotional, verbal and sexual abuse. Although my scars may not be visible at times, they are there. Hidden. Which sometimes I feel are the worst because how bad could it really be? He didn’t hit you, right? That’s the type of messed up thinking I have had especially when it came down to make decisions to leave or to stay. Ultimately, I made the choice to leave.

I want this blog to be a safe space. A place for discussions, a place where folks can feel heard without shame or to provide hope that someone is not alone that there are others out there going through the exact same thing. Because one thing I know, it is isolating as Hell and lonely and so many other mixed crazy feelings. Maybe you will relate to my experiences, maybe you won’t and that’s okay– we go through experiences differently. This blog is for survivors of trauma of any kind and I welcome you all.
