Monday I shared My First Interview. And Yesterday I shared about sharing my story on Facebook and Making It Facebook Official
I have always dreamed of sharing my story with others in hopes of helping them through their healing process. But no matter how long I have dreamed about this I realized You Are Never Prepared.
The night the interview aired I was sitting in my living room alone. I finally saw the introduction of the story and then the story started. I started Whale Crying as soon as I saw myself on tv. At that moment I saw myself as someone else. A brave woman that decided to share her life story not to get attention for herself, but to help others. I was so proud of the woman I saw on that tv screen.
I realized that I had given the wrong time when I notified my family. So I sent them all a text to let them know the original time and that it would be showing again in 1 hour. My sister replied with “I saw it you were wearing purple, sitting on the couch with your dog” I did not do this interview for affirmation yet I had hoped that my sister would say something positive. I have to just meet my sister at where she is. That does not mean it does not hurt.
I had a family member that said “You are one of the strongest people I know” That was very validating. My mom and dad did not say much but they did acknowledge that they saw it. Even though my family did not give me the affirmation and validation I had hoped I had to realize I was not doing it for them. I was doing it as part of my healing and also to help others. And that is all that mattered.
Here is my first interview. Thanks. Take Care. Much Love.
