This post will be a little different as its completely personal, it’s about what I personally wish people knew, and isn’t for awareness or education specifically. If you aren’t interested than I am sorry and I hope you find what you are looking for.
This isn’t some sick way of bragging about my past or experiences. This is my way of getting everything out safely. You may know some of these things already, but you may not know any. I don’t know how many I will write at this point and I haven’t planned this.
I wish people knew these things but I didn’t tell them or have the long awkward conversations that come with it.
