"For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others." ~ Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson via It’s Okay to be Smart.
Before entering this blog, be aware that the content is real and raw. It explores issues related to mental health and well-being, suicide attempts, sexual violence and grief and loss. It is not a light-hearted look at life. It's an honest and raw look at mine, and what I've learned throughout all of the madness, chaos and trauma.
It is my 'fight song'; of loss and struggle and the search for new meaning and purpose. It's my story of finding hope and beauty in the darkest times and places, and of learning to love myself and being alone. And, it's a story of learning to love others' again, as well. Of building a new life, a new tribe and finding love in the most unexpected places.
It is my Art; discovered, and created by me throughout and within my aloneness.
