Psychology Today says, “Epigenetics is the science of gene expression. Your DNA is written in permanent marker; it can’t be changed or erased. Epigenetics is written in pencil: How our genes are expressed can change, thus we change our tune throughout our life. Epigenetics is the interface between nature (the genes you inherited from your parents) and nurture (your life experiences).”

Up until the scientific ACE Study conducted in 1997, it has been common knowledge that the human brain once [emotionally] 'broken', could not be 'fixed'. In fact,  you may have innocently started reading this blog with pre-1997-esque understanding, and quite fairly so! There is still so much misunderstanding out in our communities about what is really going on in one's brain when it comes to mental discomforts.

It is now nearly a quarter of a century after the scientific study was carried out and gratifying results are still in occurrence!

(Happily) immersed in continuous research and geared with previously unwelcomed-but-appreciated experience, I am excited to share with you my own findings of the journey of only 1 out of 7.8 billion stories (give or take). Celebrating the before and now of my human escapade.
