My intention was never to publish a book.
The doubt in me would say, “But, it’s scary. But...I’m broken.”
The light would respond, “Yes, that is exactly where you need to be”

Dark: “What if I share and they reject me?”

Light: “They will. And, it’s okay. This is who you are.”

Dark: “What if it’s not perfect?”

Light: “It’s not about you.”

We all have our own experiences with the light and the dark.
The past 10 years of my life have been filled with some of my darkest moments – moments when my heart felt so lonely, broken and heavy with fear, that I didn’t believe I could bear the exhaustion from carrying those emotions any longer.

In the dark, we feel alone.

In the dark, we want to run.

In the dark, we fear no escape.

Fear is crippling.

I came to a point when I had no choice but to lean in, and face it. It was only then – when I stopped running from my own fear – that I finally learned to accept where I was, and fully embrace my broken heart.
