Why I Write: Turning Pain Into Purpose

 Writing has always been my lifeline. It started as scribbles in a notebook during sleepless nights, a way to quiet the chaos in my mind. Over time, those words became my therapy. When the weight of life feels unbearable, I write. When the memories threaten to swallow me whole, I write. And when the world feels like it has failed me, I write—not because it changes what happened, but because it helps me survive it.

 

My story is not simple. It’s filled with love and loss, triumph and tragedy. I write about my divorce and the scars it left behind. I write about my beautiful son, who left this world far too soon, and the ache that never fades. I write about living with mental health struggles—bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, dissociation—and the fight to stay grounded when the ground keeps shifting.

 

I write about my daughters, the light of my life, and the heartbreaking journey of being kept from them. I write about the legal system that was supposed to protect families like mine but instead created more pain, more distance, more brokenness. I write about what I’ve done, what I couldn’t do, and what I’m still fighting to make right.

 

This blog is not about perfection. It’s about honesty. It’s about sharing the parts of life that people don’t always talk about—the messy, complicated, gut-wrenching parts—and finding some kind of beauty in the middle of the wreckage. If my words can make someone feel less alone, if they can help even one person hold on a little longer, then every sentence is worth it.

 

Here, you’ll find pieces of me—raw, unfiltered, and real. My hope is that in telling my story, I can begin to heal…and maybe help someone else do the same.
