Tunnel Vision
Imagine standing there... She was sitting there alone, in the street corner coffee shop. The heat from the hot coffee mug warming her cold hands. A smile is crooked on her face. She's not quite sure if she should smile or cry. A girl and her mother were sitting at the table behind me having an argument. They are arguing about the little girl not being able to go to the football game. The little girl feels it's completely unfair, that her mother is just doing it to ruin her life.

Just the Beginning
Let's start with the basics. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with PTSD. For those who don't know what this means, PTSD is the abbreviation for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It's what occurs to a person after a traumatic event happens. It's pretty much the aftermath. My PTSD stems from childhood molestation and rape. Yes, it is hard to talk about all the time. Even writing that in this article somehow makes me feel extremely anxious. It's not something I've talked about with too many people. Most people find it too hard to hear about. So, for now, I would like to leave my childhood experiences at that.

Hello World
For the first time in my life, I've decided to step out of the shadows. This is the most frightening experience of my life, next to giving birth, but that's a story for another time. I've always spent my time focusing on what I was told would be best and just doing what I was good at. I've given myself freely to my friends, family, and strangers, sometimes leaving nothing for myself. I spent the first 20 years of my life focused on education, so I could get a good paying job and provide a worry free life for myself. "Worry Free," HA! Seems like a joke now that I'm in my thirties.
