At sixteen, my world had come crashing down. Life was…unmanageable at best. I hurt all over. Nothing felt right to me. Life was a misery. Heavy chains enveloped me; escaping those torturous bounds was impossible.My battle with depression started at age sixteen. The death of my parents and grandparents during my early childhood and living in a state of constant mental and verbal abuse eventually took its toll. I didn’t know how to deal with the pain and torture. I was sixteen after all. I escaped within…the only place I ever felt safe. Read more >

About Me:
I'm Tami Marie, the owner and creator of The Things We Find Inside which I started in July 2010. I'm from a little country called Trinidad. It's the southernmost island in the Caribbean. I love it here. It's beautiful and it's home. :)
Here's a little about me... An 80's baby, a lover of nature and animals, a teacher, a daughter, niece, cousin, friend, girlfriend...somewhat reserved, insanely passionate, totally fun loving and easy going. I subscribe to the 3 L's in life...Live, Laugh, Love. I believe in taking chances, doing your very best always and when you make a mistake, (which you often would do) you get back up and try again. Our journeys are our own, and it's for us to create our pathways.
I adore writing, photography, art...creativity! I have been 'creating' since I was eight years old! My blog is a reflection of me. My dreams, my goals, my faults, my challenges...I make no apologies for it. It's real...it's honest...at times dysfunctional and is filled with way too many exclamation marks!!!! It mirrors me perfectly.
