I don’t share this out of spite, unforgiveness, or to give anyone a bad name.
Nor do I share this to gain attention or sympathy.
I share because for years I allowed the influence of others to silence me.
I share this because I traded the narrative of truth for a false narrative of positivity.
I share this because there were points in my life where I believed that I was better off dead than alive.

Working through trauma
In the process, I fall and fail. Yet, I have made a decision to not stay down. I refuse to let the narrative of my trauma define me for the rest of my life.
