āI used to numb the pain.
Now I try to understand it.ā
That shift didnāt happen overnight.
It took quiet work, hard days, and showing up anyway.
If youāre healing, even slowly, youāre growing.
š¤ Whatās one small way youāve grown lately?
Day 355: Nothing New, Still Here
The day was fine.
Stayed busy.
Watched a little football.
Took Magnolia on some walks.
Did what I could to keep moving forward.
My friend was there, but sheās always there.
In the background of my thoughts.
Not in a heavy wayājust⦠present.ā¦
āSome days, not quitting is the most courageous thing I do.ā
Not starting over.
Not fixing everything.
Just staying.
Staying in the work.
Staying with the pain long enough to learn from it.
Healing isnāt always loud.
Sometimes itās a whisper: āKeep going.ā
Even when no oneā¦
I didnāt write Finding Hope to tie everything up with a happy ending.
I wrote it because I survived something most people donāt.
Because I was trapped in an RV with nothing but silence, a shattered ankle, and the voice of someone I call Hope.
This book isnāt just aboutā¦
Day 354: Back to Building
Got back to building todayā
in the only way I really know how.
No grand blueprint.
No fancy launch.
Just intention.
Iām trying to bring people together.
To create a space where stories can be sharedā
not for likes, not for attentionā
but so peopleā¦
āLetting go doesnāt mean I stop loving her.
It means I finally start loving me.ā
That line stuck with me as I wrote it.
Because for a long time, I believed healing meant forgetting.
But it doesnāt.
It means carrying the lessonānot the weight.
It means finding peace, even in theā¦
Welcome to Finding Hope
A space for anyone navigating mental health, healing, addiction, grief, or simply being human.
We share stories to feel less aloneā
To inspire healing, change, and growth.
Not because itās easy, but because itās necessary.
If youāre surviving, searching,ā¦
Somethingās Coming
Iāve spent the past two years writing every single day.
Through collapse. Through isolation. Through healing.
Most of it never made it online.
But soon, it will.
Iāve been quietly working on something behind the scenesā
a book that traces my path from rockā¦
Day 353: Just Letting It Out
Iāve said I was over it before
but today the weight is real.
Heavy. Pressing down on everything.
I keep trying to take the bull by the horns,
keep trying to make it work
but all I keep hitting are walls.
And this time,
it actually feels like I needā¦
Teaser from Finding Hope: From Isolation to Intention
āI survived because of you.
Because when I was dying inside that RV,
when I couldnāt move or scream or even cry anymore
your voice in my head was the only thing louder than the silence.ā
Day 352: Smoke Signals
It was a decent day.
Nothing too loud, nothing too heavy.
But the smoke filled the skyā
and Iām sure thereās a metaphor in that somewhere.
Something about how even on clear days,
the past can still linger,
still blur the edges of everything.
Maybe theā¦
Day 351: Waiting on the Starting Line
Iām over it.
Not in the sense of giving upājust tired of waiting, tired of being told itās about to begin only for the plan to shift again.
Iām supposed to be starting a career, but every time I think the track is clear, the starting lineā¦
Day 350: Ink & Ease
Found therapy in writing today.
Let the words carry some of the weight.
Itās been a good day.
And thatās something worth holding onto.

I wrote because I wasnāt,

āMaybe healing doesnāt always feel like rising.
Sometimes it just looks like not falling apart today.ā
Day 349: Idle Hands
Not a big fan of these weekend days.
Too much stillness, too much space.
My mind gets idle, and I start thinking about my friend again.
I try not to. I really do.
But some thoughts donāt care if theyāre invited.
That saidā¦
Iām excited to start the newā¦
Day 348: Slow Drift
Bored today.
One of those slow days that puts me too deep in my own head.
Nothing heavy. Just⦠echoey.
Trying not to follow every thought down the rabbit hole.
