Sharing my life stories from my perspective and experience with recognition that every story will have different perspectives and recollections of events per each individual involved. I can only speak to my own views, opinions, and speculations. By telling these stories, I want to share my recovery journey with complete vulnerability. It is not my goal or intention to villainize anyone, nor is it to establish “teams’’ to side with or for me to use this platform to play the role of victim. Some stories may have explicit content in relation to suicide, threats, reckless behaviors, and language. I in no way suggest the reckless actions or reactions I have had and would suggest using discretion in the interpretations of the message you may draw. These are my raw and real recollections that have played a role in one way or another in Shaping Identity. Are you ready for some vulnerability?
