I hope to share that when things are at their worst, sometimes the best you can do is sit with them among peers who get you and can be present in a way no one else can. I also want to share that these experiences and this fire will purify you, and if you are patient with it, you too will emerge stronger and become a force for good in others’ lives. This is what gives meaning to your suffering, but it calls you to stay with it, keep coming back, and share well.

Personal collapse, crisis, loneliness, and suffering stripped away everything. What felt like dissolution became transformation. Now, I feel called to be there for others going through a similar fire of suffering themselves, and be present for you.
