Love and Evil, 07/17/2025
This part of my journey really sucks and brings me a lot of pain, but I’m not broken. I will continue to get through it and I won’t let it break me. I have a bright, happy, successful side and that is where I live most of the time. It’s just that my darker parts are very dark, I guess. But they won’t break me. I will continue to make it my priority to help others who have walked through similar darkness; that’s part of my healing. I will continue to walk through my own darkness as I reach new levels of healing. It’s not okay what happened to me when I was a child and it’s not okay that my daughter passed away. And yet, maybe it’s okay that those awful things happened to me because I have the strength and conviction to turn those tragedies into a light for other people. Maybe another person wouldn’t have been able to do that, and if those things had to happen to someone I’m glad it was me because I can handle it. I’m resilient as f**k and I won’t give up. I don’t believe everything happens for a reason, but I do believe that we are in charge of our destiny to some extent. It is my destiny to stand strong in the face of evil and corruption, so that I can show that I am stronger.. that love is stronger. So I will keep doing that, even though I will have hard days. Norah was the greatest gift of my life because she reminded me what it felt like, what it looked like to be pure love. She was pure love.. and she reminded me that I once was, too. I’m working my way back to what I once was, in spite of tragedy. And I think I’m doing a damn good job.
