Your moment of clarity comes when you face your fears. Sobriety gave me back me - my life. Self-medication kills you slowly. You can never get a handle on that. It's a highly destructive force that has to be dealt with on a spiritual level as much as a physical one.

When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didnt go over a cliff.

Painted faces, sun burnt skin, fixed expressions, smiles worn thin.

If I love a song, I make it mine.

I'm a woman and I'm a backbone...everybody needs one.

I've always struggled so much just to appreciate myself.
