I will not lie to you. I’ve faced psychological corruption. Sabotage. Betrayals that cut deep. Rooms that promised healing but delivered gossip. Cycles that tried to break me again and again.

But I never gave up. I never backed down. And I never let silence define me.

I’ve fought demons in silence— the kind most people never see. I’ve battled addiction, alcohol, and abandonment. I’ve stayed in toxic relationships longer than I wanted, just to prove to myself that what I was seeing was real.

And through it all, I found something unshakable: A personal relationship with God. A resilience forged in fire. A truth that refused to die.

They tried to categorize me. To write my story for me. To convince me I was someone I wasn’t.

But I held onto the pen. Because God gave me that choice. And I choose truth. I choose light. I choose to rise.

 

✒️ The Pen Is Yours

Never let anyone silence you when you know you’re speaking truth. Never let anyone write your story. Never give away the pen.

God is the ultimate author. And silence isn’t your enemy—it’s your forge.

Use it to build yourself. Use it to find yourself. Use it to deepen your relationship with God.

You don’t need validation from anyone. You are worth it. You are loved—by me, and by God.

 

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5 (ESV)
