I never had the intention of sharing personal stories. But Know Thyself, Heal Thyself and Coffee Times (before it shutdown) were the places I felt safe to reveal pieces of me. It was hard. I've never been self -revealing. I'm extremely private. It wasn't until after my niece found me online that I that, "Oh shit." Then, I thought, "I've told the truth and if someone I know reads it, that's what they will read, the truth."
