Hey,

I know you probably don't recognize me, and that's a good thing. But I have a few things that I need to say.

I was broken, to the lowest of the low. I lost my job, I had no motivation to get out of bed to even shower or go to my classes. I completely let myself go. And at that time, I really didn't care.

I know you may never understand what I had gone through to get to such an awful place as well as I know that you may never understand why I had to rebuild myself all on my own. It wasn't an easy path doing it on my own, but it was well worth the journey.

I gained so much self-confidence from doing that. I gained the knowledge of how to be independent and only to depend on myself. I was able to grow and become the person that i needed to be.

If you knew me a year ago, six months ago, or heck even a month ago, I am not the same person as I was then. I am continuously growing and changing. I will never apologize for changing or growing.

I've come a long way since I was that 18 year old that could barely leave her bedroom or even shower. Now, nearly a year later, I am a 19 year old that actually has every thing together. I may not be perfect, but I am me. I finally got to a place that I can be proud of. And at this moment, me being proud of myself is all that I need.
