Forgiveness
“You’re better than me, I don’t think I could ever forgive them”, is one of the most common things I hear when I talk to people about their trauma, and my own. People think it is incredible how I have chosen to forgive the people who have wronged me in my life, and even allow some of them to still be a part of it. But what they don’t realize is, the forgiveness I have chosen to extend to others, is for my own healing’s sake, and it has nothing to do with them.

A Life of Trauma
It is my hope that one day the world will see suicide differently, and that by changing the stigma around suicide that more people will be willing to not only admit that they are not okay, but that when they do, the people around them will have better resources to help them. Why is this so important to me? Well, I’d be happy to tell you. But please be aware, this story might contain triggers and be a little intense for some.

Someone Else Will
When I first moved back home, I had to stay with my dad and his girlfriend until I could get my ducks in a row. Things were stressful to say the least. After weeks of building frustrations around the house, my dad and I finally got into our first fight in over ten years. Screaming at the top of our lungs at each other in the front yard. Me, wondering why even my father didn’t care about what I was going through or what I was feeling, and him wondering why I was upset that after 10 years, I couldn’t sit down and have a conversation with my dad without his gf throwing an absolute tantrum.
