From the Author
Dear Reader
I know that there is so much pain. I know that you too are struggling. But I also want you to know that good days will surely come. There is darkness today but tomorrow will be brighter, I promise you that. There are so many emotions that we always go through but are afraid to share them with those around us. Maybe we are just too afraid of being judged. But I want you to know that it’s okay to open up, to share what you’re going through every day. And you will realize that in your tale is an illumination that so many people around the world can relate to. You are special, please know that, and you too will heal.
