My name is Ruth Vogels. I have just turned 18, since April 30th. I really love to write. It's an outlet for me. It gives me a lot of peace and allows me to process things, so that I can let go. I write texts about my pain and life and how I deal with it. I really want to encourage people with my lyrics and touch them so that they can identify and don't feel alone in the situation. But above all I want to take them along in a story that is real. Where they can get hope, faith and strength, but most importantly love. That is why I have bundled my texts together. Each chapter is a different text. Some are long and some are very short or average. Some text are about other people that I apologised to or give birthday wishes or want to give some extra love when they getting hate or are hurting. I wrote those text to them so that I could let it go and deal with it. They are mostly in English but some are also in Dutch. It's all about my battle with depression, suicide my trauma, learning to love myself, the things that are at play in my life, my walk with God, my fight with life, my life and my fight with being happy. This is my journey of strength.
