And I will admit that despite hearing the same themes I endured; I’ve always been envious of some stories. Because it narrated how I wished my story played out. How I wish I walked away a lot sooner from GE … More IS THIS HOW THE STORY ENDS?
Note: This post is mostly self-reflection and in no way suggestion that its how everyone should apply their experience. When the storm from toxic abuse has settled, enough for us to clear our minds; on tough reflective days, this question may arise: “why me?” On my pessimistic days, the answer I gave myself was what … More WHY YOU?
This was an actual question asked to my friend Posy* by her mate; after Posy came out of her 1st counselling session: “are you cured now“?

The first ever time I learnt about stalking was when my family and I watched the TV film … More THEY’RE BEHIND YOU!
Something I felt like an outsider for at school, but am proud of myself now is not watching Big Brother (BB). I’m glad my immediate family was on the same wavelength. We weren’t the rare few dying a spiritual landfill every night by watching what should have been called Human Zoo. But I couldn’t ignore … More D.A.R.V.O
My media inspiration of healing was from UK actress Rebecca Humphries.
