About Me: 

I never know what to write when it comes to writing about myself. So I'm just going to explain why I started my blogs and you'll get to know a little something about me that I rarely if ever tell anyone. This blog marks my journey from the darkest, lowest point in my life. I needed something to focus on other than my grief and heartache. My readers may wonder why so many of my characters had some form of the name Robert. That name is significant to me. It was my way to honor the memory of my Robbie, my first love, my first kiss, my first heartbreak. 

Imagine two little kids a girl (5) a boy (7) We grew up together. Did everything together. We even told everyone we were going to get married and have 20 kids when we grew up. Why 20 I'll never know, I'd have to go back and ask my 5 year old self. Our commitment never changed all threw high school into college we planned our wedding, set the date but what I didn't know was I was slowly losing him to depression. I knew something was wrong, things I dismissed chalking it up to stress from school, wedding plans, etc. I'll never forget the day I left for class, we said our goodbyes and that was the last I would ever see him.

He decided to end it all that cold November day. It took us a week to find him. I was going out of my mind. How could he do this? Why couldn't he tell me he was hurting so much? Why didn't I see it before it was too late? So started my own battle with depression and my own suicide attempt. I don't know why I survived and he didn't but I'm thankful everyday for the life I have.  It's been four years and I still have my bad days but I'm still here. My blog marks my journey. Sometimes I put my characters through a lot but in the end I hope to give them a happy ending as I hope one day I'll get my happy ending.

Sorry that was so long and depressing but that's what my blog means to me.

Spirit Animal:

I really don't know. I even took one of those quizzes to find out what my spirit animal is. I got mixed results. One such result was the wolf. I liked the explanation because it's true to me. Wolves are pack animals and close to their pack. So my pack is my family and close friends. I'm fiercely loyal and I no longer hold back from saying something if I think something doesn't feel right.
