Finally sitting down to write. After more than a year of mulling over the "how", I am moving to the "just f!@#$&^ do it and whatever comes out is what is meant to be on the page" stage.
So, here it is, friends...
This blog will be comprised of a wealth of information on my lived experience with Narcissistic Abuse presented in an artistic way, true to my creativity, undeniable belief in the healing power of music and my lifelong struggle with ADHD.
Use My Voice... This song from Evanescence's new album, "The Bitter Truth" has resonated with me so deeply. In fact, it is the inspiration for finally moving forward with my website and building out my efforts to raise awareness about non-physical domestic violence and empowerment for women and teen girls (of which I am a mother to one). A powerful combination of (power) chords and strong vocals, and lyrics which quite literally draw out the raw emotion of feeling silenced for so many years by an individual that I still must navigate today and for years to come.
May this be the start of a healing journey of epic proportions, for me, and for you.
Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label me a bitch because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice
Stay true to you ~Julie
