In February 2013 I had a stroke shortly after becoming a first-time mother. It came after a number of other life-changing events and is maybe why I wanted to write about it first. If you have suffered an illness or trauma I think you will find something in common with this story. If you haven't had an experience, then maybe it will shed light on what it's like. I would love to hear your stories and feedback.

The year was 2013. I had just moved into my first home with my husband and our young daughter. Life was going well until I sat down and began to flip through an old, long forgotten CD binder. As I did memories of my traumatic past came rushing forward out of nowhere and launched me into the greatest, and most difficult journey of my life. This short story is the very first version of what would later become my memoir.Complete
Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy
The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.Complete

Don't think that my life is so typical because I once thought that and then everything changed for me. Don't ask me how either because I don't know. I mean.. you could see for yourself. And then you could give me an answer because I obviously don't have one. BOOK ONE COPYRIGHT | I DO NOT OWN ANY PICTURES.Complete

Different Indifferents
