I'm typing this out through hot tears.
Yesterday, I posted a very difficult confession. Something I've been struggling silently with for a long time. I felt alone. I was crushed by guilt and embarrassment. But today- I was blown away.
I feel compelled to thank you right away. I am reading your amazing words of love and support, and I am honoured by those of you sharing your own stories and experiences. I was shocked by all the comments. And amazed by your messages. Thank you for admitting "I am there too" or for offering your own truth "I got through it- so will you!"
Some of you called me brave. Let me tell you- I am terrified. It took me months to work up the courage to make an appointment, weeks to work up the courage to write about it and weeks longer to work up the courage to post it. YOU got me there. You gave me the courage.
I started this blog as a personal outlet and to keep myself accountable on this journey. I could have never imagined that it would so quickly turn out to bring me so much strength.
I truly hope you can draw strength from it as well. Get the words out-write them, call a friend, speak your truth out loud in whatever way you can and I know you will feel lighter.
So, thank you. I love you.
