Heartbeats, billions of cells dying and being born continuously, every breath and many other vital functions that work autonomously are supreme proof of how complex the human being is.

Thoughts from the creative process
Writing about my darkest moments was not an act of courage, but one of necessity. When you shine a light on the shadow, it disappears. BPD is no longer a monster under the bed, but a part of me that I learn to guide.
