Growing up in the '90s, I learned fast that life doesn’t hand out safety nets. I was on my own at a young age. 🥀

There were many divorces, a narcissistic mother, and an alcoholic, abusive father. My sibling (survivor) and parents (RIP) were all diagnosed with cancer. 💔

I heard things no child should:

"I wish you were never born."
"You have a bitch face."

And so much worse. ⚡

Every scar became a stitch in the life I fought for: traveling the world, finding freedom, creating a future no one thought I could have... but my story isn't unique.

Behind every piece we create are the stories of others — scars, survival, and strength under the surface.

We are here to say the things no one talks about.

To help people feel less alone in a world of pretenders.

To help encourage healthy conversation and truth.
