If I can only change one life......

If I can only change one life, all the pain will have been worth it.

If I can only change one life, I can say that I finally found my purpose.

If I can only change one life, I can know that I did the right thing by putting my life out there for the world to see.

It hasn't been easy. I have only expressed the excitement about publishing my memoir, but it's not like it is about a book about making ice cream. It's a true account of the years of suffering I endured, and it wasn't easy to write. It has brought many things to the surface once again, but now I am strong enough to properly process them, and let them go. To be grateful for my life, after having coming so close to loosing it. To be grateful to have found love, when I had thought I was too damaged to ever deserve it. To be grateful for the friends I have made, even though I lost so many.

I just hope that I can change someone's life, even in the slightest way. Just to let someone, somewhere, know that they are not alone.
