My Tree, Even alone we can stand tall –

  • In the early years of my life I felt alone. I felt like a ghost, without a voice… invisible yet still existing and wandering. I never felt like I had a home… I never really felt safe either. I was always on edge, always waiting for the worst… always afraid.

    The tree on my website is a tree that is a symbol to me, its a reminder to myself… that even if I’m on a hill all alone, tired from climbing endless troubles… I can still stand tall… That I can still grow and endure, that I can still fight the odds.

    So that is the story behind my tree, and the reason why I always say, even alone we can stand tall.

    Hugs and hugs, Matty. You have come such a long, long way. No wonder you’re tired these days! You are such a strong person to have come through all your troubles to be the wonderful person you are now. I think the tree is a very appropriate symbol for you 🙂 Hugs.
