I AM STILL HERE

You don’t survive something like this and walk away unchanged.

You carry it.

In your body.

In your thoughts.

In the silence no one ever asked about.

I AM STILL HERE is not a story about perfection.

It’s a story about survival.

Told through raw, poetic reflection, this memoir takes you through the unspoken realities of:

• Childhood trauma
• Silence that was mistaken for strength
• Anger that had nowhere to go
• Love that looked like survival instead of safety

This is for the ones who:

• Learned to read a room before they learned to read a book
• Stayed quiet to stay safe
• Were called “too much” or “too difficult” when they were just hurting

And still kept going.

This is not just about what was survived.

It’s about what came after.

The rebuilding.

The breaking point.

The moment you stop abandoning yourself.

And the quiet, powerful truth that remains:

You are still here.
