Ausreißer

Joyce Nassar Huna Waharina ist Überlebende ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit, die gefüllt war mit Missbrauch, Gewalt, Süchten, Depressionen & Traumata, Ängsten und Burnouts. Sie war unter den Höllen des Lebens und wurde medizinisch und von ihrem Umfeld aufgegeben. Sie lebte in einem Strudel von innerer Selbstzerstörung und permanenter Traurigkeit. Immer auf der Suche danach, geliebt, gesehen und wertgeschätzt zu werden, und zwar so, wie sie gewesen ist, und nicht wie sie funktionieren oder geformt werden sollte. Sie lebte irgendwann die eigene Selbstaufgabe, den Widerstand, die Depressionen und verlor sich in all den Diagnosen, die sie erhalten hatte. Vor 16 Jahren, als sie 30 Jahre alt war, wurde ihr mitgeteilt, dass dieser Zustand der Hoffnungslosigkeit, des Schmerzes und der permanenten inneren Dunkelheit, chronisch sei und sie müsse lernen damit zu leben. Diese Aussage entfachte ein neues Feuer in ihr. Sie traf die Entscheidung, endlich zu leben. Ohne dass sie überhaupt wusste, was wirkliches LEBEN ist, machte sie sich auf den Weg. Sie fing an, an sich selbst zu glauben, fand Möglichkeiten für ihre Heilung und die Aktivierung ihrer eigenen Selbstheilungskräfte, veränderte ihr Bewusstsein zum Leben und wurde gesund. Heutzutage steht sie für die Hoffnung, dem Glauben an sich selbst und dafür, niemals aufzugeben.Ihre Gedichte sind eine Reise von 1993-2010, durch ihre Dunkelheiten, Depressionen und Momente der Hoffnung. Lass dich inspirieren von einer Reise in der Dunkelheit, die mehr und mehr ins Licht führte.
