TRIGGER WARNING!!!

My top three have always been the same:

1. Lies


2. Injustice


3. Cruelty — especially toward children, animals, and the vulnerable



On the surface they might sound simple, but for me they are not small irritations… they are the echoes of a life I’ve lived.

Many of my readers already know that I’ve begun writing my book — the story of my childhood, my shadows, the healing I’ve fought for, and the long road I’ve walked as a survivor of trauma, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
I don’t share this for sympathy. I share it because awareness matters.
Because silence breaks people far more than the truth ever will.

My pet peeves aren’t random.
They are the very things that shaped me.

Lies — because I grew up surrounded by them.
Injustice — because I spent too many years watching the wrong people hold the power.
Cruelty — because I know how it feels to be small, unheard, unseen… and how it feels when someone finally fights for you.

And maybe that’s why I fight so fiercely today.
Why I cannot look away from Liam’s case.
Why every lie, every inconsistency, every injustice burns like a wound I’ve known before.
Because when you’ve lived through the dark, you recognize it instantly — even in someone else’s story.

I’m not out for pity.
I’m out for truth.
I’m out for justice.
I’m out for creating a world where fewer people have to survive what I survived.

These “pet peeves” are simply the places where my soul refuses to bend.
