"Some days I wanted to cry. Some days I wanted to yell. Some days I wanted to die. Every day I found the courage to keep living."What do you do after your life completely falls apart, you suffer through several traumatic experiences, go into isolation, and almost die? You choose to keep living and talk about it. I release when I speak, so this is me dismantling my own shame around my experience and returning back to something I love and miss, you all.Enjoy todays offering.Find me on all the socials:Instagram: @MaudifyingMalaysiaTwitter: @MaudAlcornFacebook: Maud Alcorn
