If I weren’t worth it I would not be here. I am worth it in so many ways that I can even imagine and so is everyone else in the world. I may think that I have no purpose in life and that all things I was doing at home made me somehow unlovable. My […]

My life began with a mixture of feelings - joy and sadness, warmth and cold, love and hate etc. I was afraid and hurt at times as a child and I especially remember my dad not being there for me when I was growing up. I began the slow and painful process of hateful resentment […]

First I would like to begin by introducing myself; I am Katrina, a pure, powerful, and simply amazing young woman.
A year and a half ago my future looked more like an ending than a start. I was a runaway basically living on the streets, what I didn’t realize was that I was running from myself. […]
