the truth


I tell the truth about my life.

I share the trauma I experienced for nineteen years under my parents roof.

I tell the truth about my mental health. About the struggles I feel on a daily basis.

I tell the truth about our fertility journey and how amazing and scary it is to know I will be a mom soon.

I tell the truth about my PTSD.

I tell the truth about my chronic illness and disability. 

I tell the truth about my anxiety.

I tell the truth about my struggles with self harm.

I tell the truth about my agoraphobia.

I tell the truth about my assault. 

I am honestly an open book, I have to let it out because if I don't, it will kill me. I am glad I tell the truth, but it isn't easy. For years I kept it hidden, but now that its all out, I feel much more expressed. It's painful, but worth it.

I hope that I give others the inspiration and space to tell the truth as well. I hope I make people feel safe enough to share their stories.

Do you tell the truth about your life?
