Dear Healing tribe,
I have been away from this forum for a while now and I finally feel ready to come back and to explain where I have been. I have been in a dark place lately and I did not feel connected to writing anymore. I think telling my story will help so many people who are exactly where I was in my journey. I was submerged in my mind,…read more

Dear Unsealers,

I was a young girl when I first saw my mom have a seizure. The moment I saw her tense up, I was frightened by what I saw. Her hand was reaching out towards me and her face was a bright red. She was laying on her bed and I was alone with her. At the time my younger sister was still in her crib on the other side of the room. My…read more

Dear Unsealers,

Tonight I found myself missing the past, a version of me that I no longer am anyomore. From the cocoon came the butterfly, and she is who I am when I let go.

The golden light embedded itself in my chest.
It engulfed my heart in its grasp.
It spread to the rest of my vessel.
So this is what healing was like.
It was like a rainbow after a storm ravishing the world and then sprouting from one side to another.
All rays of light shining beautiful and bright colors.
Pure bliss in its true form…read more

When I was in college I brought back this story, and it was about a girl who was in a coma and she had to find her way back to her body. She had to find her will to live and I feel this way about life in general. What keeps us going? what causes you to have a will to…read more

Dear Dreamer,

I remember when I was a kid and I wanted to be a mermaid. I loved watching movies, and of course The Little Mermaid was my favorite movie. I remember loving water and wanting to get away from the world by transforming into a mermaid. I had not yet been to the ocean but watching that movie made me feel like I was there. Then as I got…read more

To whomever this reaches,

In a society that tells us that we have to be a certain way or look a certain way, it can be easy to lose ourselves in trying to be perfect. There is an image that we have to portray to the world because of it. Anything different is called weird. I grew up not being the person who was apart of those perfect crowds. I…read more
