Eleanor Doyle

I always said I'm standing in my truth.

I own it.

I validate my own truth.

I know what happened and my kids know what happened.

I never had to spread that.

I knew from the depths of my heart and my soul exactly what happened.

I never went out and fought that narrative.

Because I saw something years ago that the truth always prevails and it does prevail.

And I just said I don't want to live under that victimhood or people to look at me in a different lens and pity me because...

The reason I'm doing this is because I want to be someone's blueprint.

I want someone... I would have longed for that and I'd be crying on the couch at home at night wondering what the hell I'm going to do if there was someone at all I could relate to online.

And just no matter what, I always want to turn that pain into purpose.

Into purpose.

Yeah, even though I was here this morning, this girl here now, two years ago, sitting here with you, I wouldn't... Going into a shop for milk was like...

Because I have given so long at home surviving.

Do you know what I mean?

I was kind of like, oh, my sister was like an Amish.

Like, you know, I was just that confined.

But so it's not even, it hasn't been a year.

I'd say it was maybe July, June, July last year, I went to write, I'm going on this healing journey.
