Finding Strength in Vulnerability:
My Journey to
Writing "Get Out and Stay Out"
When asked about the inspiration behind my book, "Get
Out and Stay Out," I can't help but reflect on the profound transformation
that led me to put pen to paper. My story is not just a narrative; it's a
testament to the incredible power of resilience and the unyielding spirit of
survival. "Get Out and Stay Out" was born from my own tumultuous
journey of escaping an abusive relationship, sustaining my freedom, and
grappling with the emotional and mental challenges that accompanied my
decision.
The genesis of this story lies in the depths of my personal
experiences. I knew that I needed to share my story as a cathartic release and
shed light on the complexities of abusive relationships. Writing became my
therapeutic outlet, a way to confront the pain, fear, and self-doubt that had
haunted me for so long.
Through "Get Out and Stay Out," I aim to empower
others who may be trapped in similar situations, offering them a beacon of hope
and strength. It's a testament to the courage it takes to break free and the
journey of self-discovery that follows. I hope that by sharing my story, I can
inspire others to find their path to freedom, healing, and a brighter future.
Ultimately, "Get Out and Stay Out " is more than just a book; it's a lifeline for those seeking a way out and a testament to the incredible strength we all possess within ourselves. Writing it was my way of turning pain into power and darkness into enlightenment.
Excerpt- Cracked Heart
My heart is cracked, as the warmth of my love starts to seep through the wounds of my heart it is being replaced by the chills of the cold wind forming tiny icicles along the openings of the cracks. The warm song of my heart is being replaced with the cringing howl of the wind, the howl that carries the message of hurt and brokenness. My heart was once full but now it is hollow allowing the howl of the wind to echo through my empty chambers of my heart as it becomes the Grim Reaper, blowing away any fragments of shattered memories and hope.My heart that was once Summer is now Winter, Autumn was skipped which has resulted in my heart not being able to adapt to the rapid drop in temperature and now has the appearance of a glittering glass web spun by the black widow spider of hurt. The cracks shimmer from the light dancing off the icicles as the light tries to leave an encouraging promise of hope… hope that my heart will beat again. My heart is so empty that the emptiness creates a burden of heaviness that slows down the beat of my heart to a loud thump.
Winter brings about comfort of rest, I need to rest now in hibernation. I will rebuild what is broken, revive what it dead and fill what is empty, this will take time. The Winter season of my heart will eventually pass into Spring allowing my heart to adapt to the increase in temperature and no longer resemble the cracked glass of sadness.
