Life will challenge you – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
How a person faces each challenge that comes their way however, says much about their character, who they are on the inside.
That's why then I tried to narrow the umbrella down. To look at something that crack open how life can feel when we’re struggling and things are hard… but also ones that put a balm on that wound.

But today I tried so hard to find my own words. The words that shine my darkening life, the words that make sound in the silence.
Words that make us feel heard and understood, that acknowledge our pain and how heavy life can feel.
