That many do not know. As I’ve grown to blog more, I’ve realized that I hope to help people in some way. Sure, blogging is lots of fun but in all reality, there’s times to be serious.
Maybe someone has been through similar as me. Maybe there’s a friend you just can’t quite understand the words they are trying to say (or the things they say without words). My life hasn’t been easy. I’ve grown alot throughout my life. Does that mean I’ve healed all the way? No. I actually have been known to let individuals back around too easily but, I always realize that truly-I haven’t forgiven. Some of those things are just impossible to forgive and are always in the back of my head.
I was a foster child.
I did not talk to my father until I was 18 years old.
I had an abused childhood.
I’ve fallen victim to domestic violence.
But I’m Still Here. I might feel weak but there is strength in what I have experienced. Some I have found. Some, I hope is soon to come.
I want my experiences to help others. Life handed me a rough card but that doesn’t mean it has to continue. As I begin to share some of these “Life Confessions”, I hope you will be able to help yourself or someone else around you.

I am proud of where you have come in your life, especially based where you came from. I am a survivor to domestic violence and I look back at it that it was a stepping stone of strength for me in my life. While I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, I was able to learn so much about myself, my surroundings and where i wanted to be in my life. It taught me love. It taught me strength. It gave me my power back. You are very strong and I am very proud of you and for you being open about who you ARE. Do not ever deny yourself of that: your identity. Your past created who you are today and is your cement to build the life that you are on the track to. Stand up for what you believe in. Stand up for yourself and don’t ever let anyone belittle you. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, an ear to talk to or someone to throw darts at, I am here for you. 😉 xoxo
I agree with Tanya. What you went through when you were younger has made you the person you are today. Someone that I LOVE and admire as a mom, friend and blogger. Keep it up, hon. Lots of love from the North of you. 😉 xoxo
I agree. What don’t kill you only makes you stronger even thought at times you feel you can’t be strong or take anymore.
