By delving into individuals' inherent nostalgia and transporting them back to the 1980s, where intricate familial dynamics and unorthodox upbringing intertwine, I aim to ignite inspiration in others through my personal journey of surviving emotional abandonment and dysfunction caused by mental illness throught TV and Movies. I hope that people will be moved by my story and feel empowered to take action, utilizing their own abilities to embark on a healing journey or make a positive impact on others. Shedding light on the pressing issue of mental illness, particularly relevant in today's world, I aim to show fellow survivors that their trauma can make them stronger. Throughout my life, I have faced various challenges and adversities, but I refused to be a victim. Instead, I became self-aware and found the strength to rise above my circumstances, leading a healthy, fulfilled, and complete life. In these turbulent times, my experiences serve as a guide for individuals seeking to overcome their own obstacles. Moreover, those who haven't endured such trauma can gain a newfound awareness and understanding of mental illness, which can drive them to establish support systems within society for the underprivileged. This profound journey beckons to all, embracing those who yearn to reconnect with their cherished childhood, mend the bonds of family relationships, confront personal traumas, seek truth and healing, and ultimately, glean invaluable lessons about the significance of familial ties, the impact of childhood decisions, and the transformative power of love, care, and honesty in relationships. I aim to touch the core of every human being, where compassion resides, inspiring them to take action and care for others—the very essence our world desperately needs. Additionally, I intend to engage young adults, who are part of the educational system, by planting a seed of compassion and helping them understand life through my story. This will ignite something within them, enabling them to process their own experiences, grow, and eventually share their own stories in the future, thereby facilitating healing. Running parallel to my personal narrative is the exploration of how faith served as a stronghold throughout life's constant changes. I navigate personal traumas and disruptions from a healed adult perspective, demonstrating how I transcended the negative influence of my mother's behavior. Ultimately, I achieved remarkable success—despite being damaged—by living a life of wholeness, free from hyper instability and dysfunction's turbulent grip. The ultimate gift of peace, only attained through conquering one's battles, became my reality.
