I am

I am standing steady when the world feels wild.
I am carrying hope like a shield before my heart.
I am brave in the quiet moments no one sees.
I am learning that fear does not get the final word.
I am a warrior forged by struggle and choice.
I am rising after every fall, dust on my hands.
I am strength shaped by kindness, not just force.
I am scars and victories walking side by side.
I am marching forward even when the path is dark.
I am becoming who I fight for—my truest self.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
