When I was a teenager, I found an article in a magazine. The article was about a girl I did not know and had never met. Miraculously, I heard my own story in her words. That was the very first time I realized, I wasn’t alone, I wasn’t crazy, someone knew what I was going through. I carried around that article in my back pocket for a long time. Years later, I came out with my own story and wrote an article for a magazine. At a coffee shop one day, a girl came up to me. She had MY article in her own back pocket. She said it helped her realize she could recover as well. ✨✨✨ This September I have 11 years of recovery from what that article was about. 

Sept Letters is a chance for us to realize we are more alike than different. Although our circumstances may be unique, we can all share in empathy that we ALL have something we’ve overcome in our life. Not worse, not better… but our own. September Letters is a place we can share our stories and know …someone may just need to carry it around in their own back pocket.
