I feel like my life's journey has guided me here and to other Skool communities where I've found acceptance and feel a sense of belonging. I don't take that lightly. And I appreciate getting to know you through your expressions. I've been able to express a lot of honesty here, which is quite freeing.
My adoptive Mother left this Earth 34 years ago. Growing up, she faced severe trauma along with ten older siblings through very emotionally difficult situations. As my guardian, her behavior toward me has made life difficult. I learned to protect that part of me that didn't believe her words and actions by hiding who I was. I've felt very isolated and misunderstood throughout my life. Poetry has given me expressIon that helps make sense of my chaos. I've posted a poem that was one effort toward expelling my little demons!
I've since come through my darkness with the help of writing. Thanks for reading.
