Can a person really "CHANGE"?

QUESTION..who wants to see "Knives In My Throat"? Need your help to let the film do the work it was designed to do. DO people really benefit from relating to anothers pain? Do we want to see someone else CHANGE and GROW? Suggestions, support, advise and interest! PLEASE leave your comments about the site or contact me personally.

My answer is absolutely! When I share my "shady" past it is very difficult BUT the beauty of it is I have evolved! I believe in positive change just as much as negative. The fact is we do change whether we know it or not, whether we pursue it or not and whether others see it or not.
Change is defined as : To be or cause to be different; alter.
My change continues to be exciting! I feel so much relief when I look back on where I have been and how I live today. Some of the "shadiest" things in my past are becoming gifts of enlightenment.
There was a time when I thought the abuse I suffered at the hands of others and myself made me an "untouchable". A leper of sorts, that only certain people of society would be willing to involve themselves with. Basically "less than" the desirable and pure human with more forgivable sins.
Well now residue of those feelings emerge (primarily in new relationships) however the change that has set in is that I feel like a part of humanity that is privy to insight others are not. Instead of feeling excluded I feel included in delicate human emotions, known only to those that have felt them.
How else do you "know" the pain of losing innocence without the experience? Can you sit with a young person and truly say "I KNOW how you feel"?
So even that loss is a gift of enlightenment! Recently I shared some of my uglier experiences with a friend. I was so happy to hear him say what I have said so often, "I'm sure those experiences contribute to who you are today." THANK YOU for seeing the beauty in all the ugliness of life. RESILIENCE.
There was a time when these words would sound impossible to believe. There was a time when I never thought I could truly love me, like me and appreciate me. It took some YEARS...Still not giving away my age, but here I am.
CHANGE is not only possible it is INEVITABLE!

Last Summer vs. This Summer

My Major differences between this year and last.
Don't have to wait for the new year to look back! Onward is the Watchword..Thank you Fela!
I "BELIEVE" less and I "KNOW" more than I did last year! YAY me!
I like myself more because of it. I say "like" and not love because for too long I didn't like who I was. If I was someone else during those times I would have run from me. I did it even being me! Now I would just hug and kiss myself and say "You are Awesome"!
...Okay I do that too. LOL
What do I know? I know My Self. I know more of my relationship to God, My Ancestors and Orisa! What else is different?
I am closer to my Spiritual family (Real Family)!
I am on the path specifically designed for me.
Last year in August I met and became committed to a relationship that ended very painfully. Today I am not in a relationship with a man. I am surrounded with positive brothers that are interested in me. Brothers that I have known as friends, brothers that are as or more revolutionary and most importantly Brothers with a sincere respect for God, Self and Others!
I am protected and guided by the light. I see more with my eyes closed than open. I feel powerful and connected! I can keep a secret longer!
Even with challenges, I feel a great power and true sense of Self that reminds me the Truth behind "This too shall pass".
Or as my Baba says, "Bring it On!".
WHAT HAS REMAINED THE SAME? My beauty and youthfulness!
I STILL look at least 10 years younger without effort. Thank You Ancestors I know this is your gift!
My PASSION for CHANGE and how to Create it!
My LOVE of my work as an Actor and Writer.
