After the end of a seven-year relationship, I was in the darkest place ever. I had contemplated suicide every waking moment. I would cry myself to sleep every single night. In the mornings, I would just lay in my bed with my eyes shut wishing that I hadn't been forced to deal with my pain. I knew that I had to pretend to smile, and when I couldn't smile any more I would drink. It didn't matter what day or time it was; liquor was my haven. I was in mental, spiritual, and physical pain. I was no longer in control of my life until I decided that it was totally unacceptable for me to let another person's actions define where, when, and how my life would end. I knew something had to change, and so I decided to live on purpose. My hope for this book after I release it, is that a young woman--- any woman, finds this and understands that even though she is broken, there is hope beyond betrayal, and there is healing beyond brokenness. It may not seem like it right now, but there is a place of redemption--- however, you must purposely seek it out. It will be painful and sometimes almost unbearable, but when you choose to live on purpose, you must go through it to grow through it.
