According to Marrisa Jean Marie Cross everybody s most significant life trials can be utilized in some way to help and inspire others. She now realizes that if she didn t have all those struggles in life she wouldn t be able to write the books she writes. Marrisa can t describe how painful the emotional pain was from being bullied. However she knows the bullies who bullied her only made her a stronger person and more capable of helping others. Marrisa hopes to continue to empower others in their mental health by showing them there is hope no matter how blurred things may seem at the moment.
