The truth hurts; which is why many people vacillate between suppressing it or giving to it voice. Hurt is always contending for our attention. Consequently, if never dealt with, all our future experiences will fall victim to a skewed perspective funneled through the abyss of our pain and paralyzed by our inability to see beyond our trauma(s). Thus, it is necessary that we speak our truths lest we die inside. If you've ever wrestled to understand: Why does my life have to be so hard? Or, why do I always get caught up in the wrong types of relationships? Or, why can't I seem to shake this pain? Or, why is happiness so fleeting? This book is for you! In her debut book, INTO THE DARKNESS, Author and Speaker Jante Gibson-Bryant uses her knack for poetry and creative writing to challenge her inner enemy. In this collection, by daring to expose her own private battles, she is declaring war on shame, and self-hate, and pride, and unforgiveness. She further reveals how the suppression of such dysfunction kept her stuck between past and present--never affording her the chance to really heal. Ultimately, she understands clearly, the keys to her freedom depends on her continued willingness to give voice to her truth's, self accountability, and commitment to doing the work. Now, she wants to help you access your own personal keys to freedom and live your best life yet. Get ready to confront your inner enemy and change your life, FOREVER!
