Summary

I’m Ritsuko. I felt worthless and unloved—battling eating disorders, alcoholism, addictions, and even cutting my wrist to prove I was alive. 😔 But when I heard Jesus’ message and experienced my church family’s kindness, His gentleness broke through my darkness. 💖 Today, I know I’m deeply loved by God, no longer chasing human approval. I smile freely, embrace new life, and draw near to Jesus every day. 🙏

I Am Alive – We all have unfulfilled dreams. For Ritsuko, it was finding fame, love, and acceptance. However, when this dream disappeared, a glimmer of hope arose that not only quenched her feelings of despair, but provided more love and acceptance than she could ever imagine.
