Attached is an article I wrote as to what it means to not merely survive but thrive throughout your journey from being a victim to a conqueror. I wrote this piece as I came to an epiphany that I no longer identify myself as a survivor as I am not in that situation anymore but a thriver, one who has picked up the pieces and kept it moving.

I'm not a professional writer but I had to find a outlet to turn my pain into purpose. I had to find a way to let that one survivor who is out there who may be thinking of going back to stop and look how far you've came and there is much more ahead. At times, we tend to fall in the rut of our thoughts, which turn out to not usually be the truth, but once you get to sit down with yourself, to question yourself, to contemplate life, the answers wont come right away but they will come. With perseverance and persistence, you will find that peace again.
