Letting It Out, How Much Ones Truth Can Help



At times one like me would think to give up and then a email asking for my information comes in. Then when the story is told it hits a cord since the person is in the same situation as you. I am sucker to always give help to all like me. Too many are in need of guidance and with all these organizations about, why is there such a need? If so many are saying they take up the charge, why the lack of help? My opinion, too many and I see this with a client of mine want to be "Known" but not doing much to put a dent in the disparities. Many watch what this client does and start their own org. Yet many are not even qualified to be advising. How do you with no husband, kids and life experiences share your truth to those you want to help? Where is your connection?

What happen to the cause? Yes all want their initiative and name to be known, yet the goal is to do what my client does. She shares her truth with the youth she mentors no matter if her friends, family or immediate social circle supports. Letting those you mentor know that this well put together person in front of you has a story. One that is not said in a prophetic ready to put in a post for a great read way. The real stuff that is confided in another, that youth. Like me, I was molested and he did it from the age of seven to sixteen. When many who can relate understand I too was ashamed and blamed myself. You relive the why's through them who are telling you their truth. Majority who were like me told and were silenced, the other travesty in the shame game. I went to my parents and they too asked me to keep it in the family. This is good for the girl who is angry to hear and see one like me that is willing to claim the facts and show that I have done so much since. All while I struggle with demons. No amount of therapy will erase what images come to mind. Just help deal.

This is why those like one who got a hint from one of my posts a few years back went doing a video. It was so fake to me. Like suspected, no other mention the next year publicly as the first share about the initiative? Like it was an opportunist move. The one thing, I did not go in much more then FB vent because if it is her truth that would be the same as those in my family who dismissed my feelings and many still do to this day. Many have to do as I do, move away. For me it was listening to friends say it was stupid for one to allow it. Yet many fail to understand that manipulation, threats, and alienation make it easy. If you are always home with your abuser, labeled trouble which they use to their advantage, and do not have a protective father much can go well for the molester. A child is groomed to accept the behavior that feels weird but who are they going to tell? Then when they do it is all a secret to dispel so the family is not affected. So from a real talk place ones mental is fucked up for a long time. Staying away during holidays because the perpetrator is still around and no one cares to address is my reason for the blow ups. Leaving you to deal with the emotions. One has to learn what works for them.

For me, I just have music and my thoughts I write down as my mind races. I have gotten into Crystal Healing. I go to the beach when thoughts rattle me that are so depressing and let each wave going out take the hurt and confusion away. Man, I started by going in and went into my truth. Yet, many need to understand to really stop all their bashing of another and keep it to the facts not the person. I have many I do not care for who perpetrate but much is covered up because they are not ready to let the world know they are homeless like I have been and have no qualms about sharing. Or my own sexual abuse I let others know when pertinent to. Much of my avoidance in sharing is because more than me was affected and will be effected. Yet, as years go by I find as they do not care for my mental well being to heal, I do not care about their rosy life they want to act like nothing happened in and think it is okay to bring the perpetrators name up. It is like a slap in the face I must deal with and I do. As I deal with all other domino effects due to my leaving and being outcast of the family. Many in it want to front while holding me to forgiving and forgetting a matter that has not been addressed. So my detached nature actually protects me and why I do me.

Everyday I live my truth and share it with those who need to hear it. I am not one making it my platform. I just will be that former driver for an ex that talked to the girls I use to shuttle to the club, manage or take to their private party. All of them would stop dancing or escorting just from the conversations we would have. My ex was not too happy with the resignations, lol. I felt good because many were into what they do because as I, they do not put a value on sex as in emotional connection value. It is just an act as it was when introduced at a young age. Perceptions. Their reply, "You do not act or look like someone who has gone through all you have." Yes, because I am not one to let emotions that I can detach from easily affect the matter at hand. I can get a troubling piece of news and deal with it while I get back to what is at hand which can be work, building something or giving assistance to one.


This is one reason many around me feel I can take much. Yet all the things I dealt with at a young age made me leave at seventeen and also call for my venting my irritations. Yet I cry, it may take me a while for it to come out or years even but I do eventually let it out. I use to think when young crying was for the guilty and weak. Cancer makes me cry more and make me let stress go quicker. I do not "F" with anyone who gets to me. For me it is a sensory, mental reason to get into another time. We all know who we can deal with. So I found what works for me and take my "Nancy Moments". Find your truth and do not let anyone even those you invite into your truth to tell you different. Let their advice be that while you take what works for you.

Getting Closer To My Goals, One Step At A Time

Ten years I waited to get this chance. Getting all my certifications out the way and will have ten by the end of this year. No games, all I ever wanted is happening slowly but surely. Rough start this morning though, but all well and got a 100 on my exam. Only studied an hour and knowing how you learn things helps. Discipline too. Ignoring the distractions which I can thank my tutor in grammar school for teaching me is paramount for my ADHD ass.
Yesterday "Mama D's" car broke down and while going towards her to stay with her till someone came, she says to me do not stress about her and go home to get ready for class. I apologized for not being able to help and then she said something that warmed my heart, "Eat a great breakfast and do well on your first day." Sometimes you are grown and get the attention you always wanted. Very humbling and so happy my mom also is singing the same tune too. She said something I never heard her say to me ever yesterday, after she too called me to check up on me. My mom said, "Worry about you and I just want you all to be able to support yourselves, do not worry about me." All my life I have been in a race to finish this and that to be there for them and them while drowning because of my decisions. Never looking at my own interests as top priority and as every time I crumbled, all my attempts up until then did too.

Very hard for me to not want to help. My dad once told me, "Nancy you will never be rich, you like to give too much to others before yourself. Ou pa gen Couer pou pa bay mem si ou pa geyen'l (You do not have the heart not to give even if you do not have it.)" That made me mad at time and cry because I wanted to put my mom and dad in their own place, start all my businesses, and just be a doctor in Jamaica or Bahamas getting paid in resources needed to live from the local patients. Yet goals on hold will be realized since now I have something I always wanted, stability. Still feel it will be ripped from under me and working hard to not let anything or anyone get in my way. Some just do things as a catalyst to more while going back to what their initial goal was. Many can tell you to do this and that, but are you paying my bills? Are you making sure I eat? Are you dealing with my unique dynamic as in life? Nope, so many who like to advise forget we all do not have the same life skills or nurture to make some paths easy. Just because one is down does not mean they did not paddle like hell towards all they still fell short of. So to have stability now and though way older is so humbling. Nice to see a goal being reached. Stability down and certification and more to go.

Blessings Weekends - New Year, New Focus


Man I guess my weekends are blessing weekends. It truly amazes me how many have it out for me because of my never changing ways about me, and yet still always in favor. It can be hard though when many judge and assume. I have been shown I am going to be fine. Each time I feel a shun move from those I came to entrust, bigger and better doors are presented for me to bust right through.



I am a testimony to all those who just feel out of place and find their walk. We are still favored no matter if we do not go about things the same way. So humbling. Some may take this update as conceit but it is just me saying thank you and letting it out how much I have to be thankful for
