This Time: I Choose Me

This Time I Choose Me is more than just a memoir — it's a piece of my heart, a reflection of the pain I once carried in silence and the hope I clung to when it felt like my world was slipping away. It's my way of reaching out to you, especially if you've ever felt the weight of hidden wounds, the quiet ache of surviving something no one else could see.
There were days when fear was louder than my own voice, when isolation wrapped around me like a second skin, and when I questioned whether healing was even possible. But slowly, step by step, I found my way—not perfectly, but honestly. And in that honesty, I discovered strength I never knew I had. This book is my way of sharing that journey with you—the broken moments, the healing ones, and the small sparks of light that helped guide me forward.
If you've ever felt lost, uncertain, or alone, I want you to know this: You are not alone. I hope these words wrap around you like a warm blanket on the coldest night and remind you that healing is possible — and it's waiting for you. You deserve peace. You deserve joy. You deserve a life that feels like your own.
More than anything, I hope my story gives you the courage to break your own silence, to step into your own light, and to begin again, not just surviving but truly living.
