Linger

I have let this blog linger for far too long.

Awaken the Silence is something I want to turn into a full website. How can I achieve this if I am falling behind on the blog?

I am not sure if I have ever expressed what I want this website to be.

Here is the general idea:

I want survivors to have a place to go where they can share their story and feel safe about it. A place that isn't full of statistics and numbers. I want it to be a place where they go for confidence. What happened to them is not a definition of who they are. It is an extension of them. Something that changes them and makes them who they are.

It is my belief, that with a positive place to go, you can turn the bad into good. Use the pain in a way to change the world. Use it as a weapon to prove you are strong and can not be broken.

I know that violence can turn you bitter, depressed, and mean. I also know it can change you for the better. That is if you choose to turn those emotions into light.

That is my goal. That is my destiny. I will achieve this. I pray daily God gives me the strength to carry on in this, that I am able to give men and women an outlet to shine.

Soon my fellow readers - very soon.
