Hi Everyone,

Last time I posted here was 2017. Since then I have written very little because I felt like I didn't have the time to write. What I realize now is that I have to write. I've been through a lot of trauma in my life, and writing is one of the few ways I'm able to let go. I remember the first time that I ever wrote a poem that I was distressed and overwhelmed, I didn't know what else to do, so I started writing, and finally I was able to release everything that was bottled up in me. I don't want to be a captive of my past, I want to learn, develop, and grow into the person that I'm meant to be.

I want to thank all of the people on this platform who commented, spent time writing to me, spent time getting to know me, and to those who expressed genuine concern when I left this platform without saying goodbye. Until I logged back in I had no idea that there were so many people who genuinely cared for me. I want you all to know that leaving without a goodbye wasn't meant to be taken personally, the reason why I left without saying goodbye is because I was feeling too overwhelmed. In my life one thing I've really struggled with is setting boundaries. The people that I've been closest to have taken so much without showing any reciprocity. I've given too much of my time and energy to people who did not care, and I failed to recognize the ones who really did. I'm not going to be responding to any old messages or comments, however if you want to reach out to me I will be responding to messages every Wednesday. I do not have the time to respond daily like I used to, to be honest I don't even respond to text messages on a daily basis.

Since my last post I've been busy surviving for the most part. For a long time I was trying to figure out what I can do that inspires and motivates me, but also serves the world. After experiencing a very traumatic situation I realized that I was passionate about advocating for those who have or are experiencing childhood sexual abuse. What I realized is that this subject is so dark, so disturbing, that most people don't want to even think about it. I want to change that. It needs to be thought about. According to experts it is an epidemic, but you don't see it in the headlines like covid. What I want to do is educate as many as I can on what can be done to prevent, identify, stop, and heal from childhood sexual abuse. That is why I created the Dark Mother Podcast.

However, I haven't been uploading new podcasts for a while now. Podcasting is not my only interest. I love writing, singing, piano, and poetry as well. I'm 30 years old and I'm finally taking the time to do what I want to do. So for now I'm just going to go with the flow and see what I can create.

Love,

Emily Singh
