  • No More Light

    NO MORE LIGHT 


    The males story is one that’s seldom ever told. 

    Only when a big case breaks the news do people hear and even then its one they don’t want to see. 

    As hard as it is to say, to put into words I SPEAK ONLY FOR MYSELF. 

    It was like hitting a brick wall. Confused I tried to shut down. I was only 9 and unequipped or prepared for such a thing. Quickly I was living in the moment and outside of myself and there was no longer reality. There were no tomorrows and yesterdays were spent. 

    There was always a pain deep, deep down in my heart. In my soul. Fear and paranoia ruled my would. Frantic to escape with no hope of getting away. If only I could find a way. But I could not see in the darkness. 

    And the light, the light never returned. 

    Please if you were a child victim or a male whom has been raped, speak out, get help, you are not to blame, the shame is not on you.

    A year ago tonight at around 2am I tried to kill myself, I had enough after struggling year after year with the black fog that is depression. Thankfully I was unsuccessful. 

    15 days later me and my girlfriend found out that she was 3 weeks pregnant. 7 months later we had a son who is a week shy of 5 months. 

    If I had of been successful in taking my life then basically I would be airbrushed out of this photo, I wouldn’t exist. I would have missed out on the best thing that has ever happened to me. That absolutely terrifies me to think about. 


    While I’m not going to lie there has been dark days since and I’ll always have to face this illness on a daily basis, it’s worth facing, it’s worth dealing with & most importantly it’s worth talking about, that’s what’s kept me alive I think, talking to people I care about & that care about me. 


    Anyway that’s my story about the past year of my life & for the first time in a long time I’m looking forward to enjoying many more!
