"I often reflect on the times I've been alone and those moments when I was trying to figure it all out," shares HOLLYN. "By sharing my story, my grief, my abandonment, my freedom, my thoughts, my emotions... I hope that might bring someone a sense of comfort that they've been waiting for. Because, you see, we are not alive to fix people's problems, but to empower and (live?) love alongside them in the way they should go. If you, your friends or family struggle with mental health, emotional health or trauma - I pray this project meets you right where you're at whatever your situation is and that it brings you encouragement to keep taking steps towards freedom."
