You are not broken, and the darkness you are walking through is not your destination. I am here to share that the door to your healing is already there, and it just needs the right key.

This space is a collection of the tools, books, and truths that helped me unlock my own path to peace. I share them here, so perhaps it can be a part of your decision-making.

In a world where prettiness and shininess are preferred over the rough and gritty reality, there are people who have gone through similar pains as you did and came out stronger and more authentic than they could ever imagine. The path is certainly not easy and pain-free, but it is possible.

Not only the number of people with mental illnesses is rising, it is no longer just the matter of psyche. We have more inflammation, more toxins, more pains, and not enough attention to how to work through this jungle of chronic predetors.

Through the patience and practice of giving myself the love I needed, the pain and sludge around my heart have dissolved over the last decade. And I realized that love has its interesting way of being expressed. It’s not quite just one thing, but it’s perhaps more of an energy or invisible way of warmth.

I hope that what unlocked my door might unlock yours. If not, maybe even just a little crack. 

Healing can be lonely, and indeed, only you can do the work to help yourself, but my journey was supported by my loving and patient husband, many personal blogs, books, education, and being exposed to many perspectives of others. There were fights, there were arguments, there was frustration for not being shown a clear answer to happiness, but I realized that this journey is much, much bigger than that. And I selfishly want to show my gratitude through writing, so that maybe it can be a light for others’ journeys.

I write to soothe one’s heart in need. I write to give hope to those in need. I write to show what we may think is indeed possible.

Welcome. You just opened a door to something full of possibilities.
