• Dear Reader,

  I still believe that God created someone with me in mind. A man who will love me loudly when I need reassurance and softly when my heart is tired. A man who will handle my heart with care and respect, and who will not make me beg for the bare minimum of kindness.

• Dear Reader,

  I was abandoned. I was belittled. I was mocked. I was left to fend for myself while still caring for my children. When I look back now, I wonder what made me believe that was love. Why did I beg so hard for someone like that to love me?

• Dear Reader,

  

  A church pushed me further away from God instead of closer to Him. That pain hurt deeply because when you are already broken, rejection from people who claim to represent Jesus cuts differently. And if you know me personally, you know exactly what church I’m speaking of.

• Dear Reader,

  So today, instead of trying to inspire anyone, I’m just going to write a letter to someone I loved deeply, even though they hurt me terribly. I’m not going to give details. The person this is meant for will know exactly who they are. This letter isn’t for revenge. It’s for my healing. And honestly,…

• Dear Reader,

  I have a lot I could share about my story, but I’m also in a place where I don’t want to keep reliving every detail. So I’ll share what I can in a way that I hope helps someone else feel less alone. What I will say is this: since I was 18, every relationship…

• Dear Reader,

  Sometimes you don’t realize how unhealthy a situation is until you are completely broken by it. Going through something like this, also taught me a lot. And while I would never wish jail on anyone, it forced me to wake up to some hard truths.

• Dear Reader,

  Since my arrest, I’ve been actively trying to heal from trauma, from the lies, the actions, and the words spoken by people who once promised to love and protect me. Some days are still incredibly hard. Healing is not linear, and there are moments when the weight of everything still feels heavy. But slowly, I…

• Dear Reader,

  Healing is possible, and with God’s guidance, I’m learning to overcome my PTSD. I’ve learned that I am worth more than the pain I accepted, and I’m not the horrible things people once said about me. Little by little, I’m finding hope that one day we will finally have the peace, joy, safety, and love…
