"I just want to feel free. I don’t want to be shackled to what happened to me. It happened when I was a baby and yet it’s felt like a life sentence since the first day that I remembered the trauma."

"Nurturing Myself; I Believe You"

Every year I had a different need for this anniversary; sometimes it was just to be around people who cared and other times...

I am a mosaic of all the trauma of those who came before me and I’m exhausted trying to make it beautiful.
