Even though it says fiction, some of these things were inspired by real events. I understand what affects me won't necessarily be the same for others, but it's essential. It's important to me to tell my story for me to heal. And if I can help just one person, that is all that matters to me. I did not have the support growing up, and it dawned on me that maybe I'm still hurt. I do deal with things in a desperate attempt to feel seen. So please excuse me as I expose my raw passion ball of emotions. I feel good no wonderful to know that I reached the little girl that was left alone on the bus all those years ago.","brand":"E.
