My journey began with a spontaneous decision to start this project, initially seeking nothing more than a bit of fun. However, as the years passed, it transformed into a profound outlet for me to turn my personal pain into something impactful, meaningful and filled with joy. I've faced the darkness of suicidal thoughts, mourned the loss of a close friend to suicide, and endured the challenging process of recovery for many years. Through it all, this project emerged as my beacon of hope. In just a few short years, my passion has grown immensely. It's not only a reflection of my own healing and resiliene but also a way to inspire hope and make a positive impact on others. So, welcome to my passion project - a testament to the power of turning pain into purpose.
