My mind is constant. It won’t shut the fuck up. It’s always telling me how awful I am, how fat I am, how useless I am, how unworthy I am.
I have had ENOUGH!
When I realised I didn’t actually have to listen to this mean voice anymore I felt liberated.
But, now the hard part comes. Cleaning up all of its mess and reversing every single fucked up word it has ever spoken to me and replacing it with love and kindness. Teaching myself to be these things I have never really known how to be.
This fortnightly column deals with all of that. This is my therapy. My way of healing. I love to write. So, why not write all of that shit out of my mind so I can be free of its torture. I hope the words I share with you help you too, and stay with you as you move toward your own way of healing.
I would love to know what you think of each column. Share your thoughts and experiences with your own mind because as much as you may believe you are the only one with such a fucked up mind, I can guarantee you that is not the case.
This book came to be from every part of my life experience. Every heartache. Every hateful thought. Every self-loathing feeling about myself and my body. And, every bit of love that was denied to me and that I denied to myself. Be open to what may come to you whilst you are absorbed in the heartache, the loneliness, the sadness, the misery, the hope, the reflection, the spirit and the love in this collection of poems and short stories.
