Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to have your entire life made public?
Lately, I’ve realized that people who have known me for years may be watching Light Heals and wondering exactly that.
Why would I talk publicly about sexuality, alcoholism, shame, mistakes, faith, and things most people would keep private?
The answer is not that I think everyone needs to know my business.
It’s that for most of my life, the real me was disconnected from the real world.
I could be loved and still not feel fully known. I could be surrounded by people and still feel isolated. And eventually, the things I used to escape that disconnection created even more things I had to hide.
That is what darkness did to me.
It disconnected me.
Light Heals is my attempt to reconnect — honestly, carefully, and as the person I actually am.
I’m still learning the difference between telling my story and exposing somebody else’s. Some things are mine to tell. Some things are not. I won’t always get that balance perfectly right.
But if telling the truth about my own darkness helps someone recognize theirs before they lose themselves inside it, then sharing it has a purpose.
Maybe healing isn’t becoming somebody new.
Maybe healing is finally connecting the real you to the real world.
Darkness may be part of the journey, but it doesn’t have to be the destination.
Light Heals.
