I found someone amazing. In places I didn’t expect. I found my peace. Chase your peace.

Healing means loving myself. Looking in the mirror and having compassion for the woman I see. Forgiving myself for not knowing better. Finding the tools to be better.

Law & Order SVU has helped me with my healing process. I also dream of a Partnership with Joyful Heart Foundation and Mariska Hargitay on my project, Crafting For A Cause. It's about using art to spread joy, support, and awareness.

Hope will kill you, hope is a cruel lie they give to people when the truth is to unmarriable.

Hope is the silver of light left when you are surrounded by darkness. It is love in its greatest form 💕

Healing is a very simple word for a very complex process. Be gentle with letting the fog lift, and letting the light shine on what you tried to hide. It's worth it to come out on the other side a changed person. A healthy, boundary setting, healed version of yourself that deserves the world.

He isn't sorry, even if he says it a thousand and one times. He will do it again, and it is not your fault. You do not do anything to deserve that treatment, and that is not love.

I grew up in an abusive household where we constantly moved and lived with my mom’s boyfriends. I watched my mom from my earliest memory until she took her last breathe fall into the pattern of abuse. When I was 8 years old my mom chose to leave her abuser for the sake of me and my brother. But that didn’t stop him from coming back and making threats and eventually coming into our new home and killing her with my brother and I there. Watching it ends with us showed me a different perspective. It showed me that my mom tried to leave her Ryle for the sake of us, to try to end the pattern. Unfortunately she was unable to and we lost her. As a young adult now I’ve been in 2 relationships where there was violence and abuse and despite my fears I’ve been able to leave for my sake and the sake of my future kids. I know I deserve better, every women and man deserves better. Please don’t settle for a significant other that is abusive verbally or physically. You are worth so much more.

Loving yourself will come, and when it does, it will open doors you didn't even know were there.

Healing is to forget about this and move on since it’s going to give me a lot of mistrust on men
