About
It is always easier said than done to leave your past behind and move on with new adventures, become free. "Embrace the present and live for the future." A statement I rarely embraced myself, but often touted to my friends. I agree that there is no point in standing still, paralyzed by a past written upon impenetrable stone, long ago thrown into a deceptive abyss. I believe that our lives should continuously evolve. We should become relevant even if only to ourselves. My writings explore how our pasts affect our futures, how childhood experiences quell our enthusiasm in life, how we develop immovable routines, become squelched by rituals of preparation, and how we can negotiate a life for one's self despite believing we are too broken for a new beginning.

"That evil predominates over good becomes evident when we consider that there can be found no aged person who would be willing to re-live the life he has already lived."

Le Mort De Moi
The Death of Me
Le Mort de Moi is a hauntingly raw and poetic exploration of trauma, identity, and the desperate fight for self-reclamation. Lisbeth Lavigne weaves a visceral narrative of survival, confronting the ghosts of the past that linger in the present.
Through fragmented memories and aching prose, this book unearths the silent screams of childhood wounds, the suffocating weight of abuse, and the relentless search for meaning in a world that often turns a blind eye.
Can you truly leave behind the past when it has carved itself into your bones? Or does it haunt you, reshaping every breath, every decision, every hope for something more?
This is not just a memoir—it’s a reckoning. A story for those who have been broken and are still searching for a way to piece themselves back together.

Brutally raw, cold examination of traumatic memories with a dissociated tone. Keeps true to it’s preface, weaving between past and present, leaving the reader wanting to know more.

Heart wrenching story of abuse and trauma. The lasting mental anguish and rage creating a lure to self mutilation. The ongoing battle to survive, desire for acceptance, find self worth and achieve resilience.
