It was hard. That's when I realized that feeling the other end of the tunnel where there was no light came the revelation that I needed to make my own. So, I made my own light. When things were hard and all I had was myself and the darkness, I realized that there was a light within me that I had. I needed to make a spark and I needed to comfort my own soul. Those tough moments happened even before 2013. I must have been in the dark so long, that I soon decided that I couldn't live that way any longer. I hope I never forget. I hope I never get rid of the detested state memory that I had to remind me, that now, I am here. I am here and still alive. I needed to remember that there are many more others around me who are in the dark and who need a helping hand. It's tough. I don't want to take it for granted. It took me this long to realize that I've been helped along the way, but it was in my darkest where I was all alone, that I realized I needed to reach out from my darkest to help those who may have needed it less than I did. Maybe they needed it even more, but my state was so difficult, that the daily basics of my life were the largest struggles and was the very pivotal moment when I realized, it's hard to be hurt and I didn't want anyone else to feel the way that I did. It was then and there, I realized, how to be really hurt and broken. So...I mended other people. ~~~~~ This book was an idea started 2013 and was dormant until 2021. ~~~~~
