“I don’t remember asking God if this was His plan, but I remember being so destroyed that even if it was His plan, it didn’t matter.”
The Faker and The Finder
Meet Haley

“Everything in my life was being measured on the scales of the two loves I had lost: the scale of unexpected tragedy and the scale of abandonment. In the absence of love, misery and self-loathing filled the voids.”
