What Is Healing?

To me, healing is to walk around the world not feeling like you have a big fat open gaping wound in the middle of your body, saying 'Here I am.

You think I should just move on, or stop talking. I'm talking for all the children who don't have a voice. And all the babies who feel horrified at their own face, reflected back at them by parents who don't know how to love. And this is a prayer that every single abused child gets to have ...

I Love My Fellow Warriors-In-Training.

Isn't it just like an amazing story for the underdog to actually be the one who pulls everyone out ...

Rest in Your Rage & Grow from Your Anger.

Words said in rage definitely appear to cut the deepest. And they are excruciatingly difficult to forget, and they can't be taken back. So know when to choose silence. You must recognize, understand and appreciate the weight of your words.

That Psycho Bitch In You? You Need Her.

The problem isn’t that they lost their temper. The problem is that it took them 'so long' to lose their temper.
