When I say... it nearly killed me... It wasn't just a feeling for a day or a week or a month.... I literally fought death for several years. Some days were worse than others. I was very much in safe spaces during this time. But around people who didn't understand. Every day... it was me and the spirits. From both sides. Day after day after day... This is where I learned... About things. I was asked by spirit before it ever began... And there was an agreement... But I did not see the strength and tenacity and insanity it would take to get through. So there is a reason my life is set up the way it is set up right now. I don't feel the need to justify much about myself anymore. There is a reason I do what I do. It all has an assignment and a purpose attached to it that I may never talk about
