This picture was taken a few months before I attempted suicide.

This picture was taken a few months before I attempted suicide. I was a shell. I was afraid. I was confused. One thing that strikes me from this picture is the shadow behind my head, as if I was trying to break out of the prison I was living in.

I share this picture to let everyone know that there is hope. There is healing. There is true emotional freedom. And, what I have learned since attempting to take my own life is that the pain is a signal that there is a lack of love and a lack of healing. For those who have felt deep pain from abuse, you know what I’m talking about.

It’s in the pain that can, if we let it, show us just how much love is waiting for us on the other side of healing. The pain, if you will allow it, will bring you back to the memories that have kept you shackled and show you that in the ‘now moment’ you are the one empowered to protect yourself in your memories and you can say what you needed to say back then and you can say what you needed to hear back then in order to make you feel safe and loved in the now moment.

Time is whatever you want it to be. Don’t fall into the trap that it’s just linear and that we can’t go back, because we can. I did and I’m on a mission to show the world how to do the same so we ALL can heal.

It’s time. You know it. I know it. And more importantly the pain knows it, which is why it might be screaming loudly right now.

You are LOVED. If you need support email me.
