“Here come the ugly parts of what healing really looks like,” he prefaced on Instagram. mail. “If you know me, you know that I will admit my parts, flaws and failures. I am well aware that that is aside. We will get there. This public atrocity that I not only experienced once, but twice, on an even greater scale was ultimately the cost of my freedom. I would not wish this on my worst enemy or those who published it. I cried on my knees in pain and at the same time said THANK YOU, we have a path ahead of us, but regardless of that, I will be freed to always. from a certain hell from which I could not find the way out.”
Paul continued: “Metaphorically, someone witnessed me bleeding out and pouring salt on me…somehow I’m still here…as we can barely see because I believe God sustained me and sent help plus an army, which makes me cry because, thank you to everyone who supported me, even without the full context. God certainly had a hand in this because after waiting 7 weeks on the 7th day EXACTLY I got the call, all charges were dropped. Those are your symbolic numbers for your plans, and I am nervous to see what awaits me… The steps to follow are the most basic. We are working on nutrition, movement, rest and retraining of the nervous system. I will share the process, because if I share the worst, I better also share the reconstruction.
