Of Love and Bruises

This book is for all the children who had and are still having a traumatizing childhood.

For everyone moving around with physical and emotional scars stemming from abuse.

For all mental health survivors. Survivors who don’t get a pat on their backs from anyone congratulating them for making it.

Survivors who wake up to more work and challenges because their friends and family are exhausted from helping them fight a battle they may not even understand.

I hope to one day see a sea of people attending more workshops, talking more, learning and loving as a sign that they understand the secret battle, and as a celebration of the victories made each day as we individually and collectively pull ourselves up out of our foxholes to see our scars heal and to remember what the sun looks like. Looks like today is a good day to start.
