The past few years have been the hardest years of my life. Through all of my lows there was always a few people who were helping me get through it.
Thank you to my family
- To my mom for always taking me to my doctor appointments, doing what was best for me, and for picking me up whenever I fell. For taking care of me when I couldn’t take care of myself. For being the one person I could rely on when the world seemed to fail me.
- To my dad for always telling me the truth, even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. For keeping things real when everyone was faking things. For keeping me level headed when things seemed to go wrong. For pushing me to see the good in every situation.
- To my older sister for doing whatever I needed. For being willing to go to the end of the earth to help me out. For giving me real life experiences when nobody else would. For being a shoulder to lean on when things fell out of balance.
- To my younger sister for being my best friend. For sticking by me when everyone I had loved left. For dealing with so many of your own problems, but still supporting me when I was dealing with my own. For being the strong, independent, badass woman I have come to know.
- To my aunts and cousins for always being around to cheer me up. For not allowing me to slip too far into the darkness, but rather find the glimmer of light. For being the best damn family that I could have asked for.
Thank you to my school
- To my principal for being so accommodating with everything. For giving me whatever I needed to make my schooling easier when everything else in life was hard.
- To my teachers for being so lenient with everything I did. For understanding that when I missed weeks of school at a time, it wasn’t because I didn’t want to be there. For being so caring, and making me feel comfortable with my situation.
- To my home school tutor for literally everything. For being so accommodating with our meeting times. For teaching me not only the lessons that I was missing in class, but also life lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. For opening my mind to a whole new spectrum of wisdom that makes me a better person. For staying an hour after our session ended, just to talk and catch up on things. For teaching me that something as simple as a table can be one of the most significant things in my life.
Thank you to my friends
- To all the friends that left me when things got rough for showing me who really matters in my life. For showing me what I’m capable of when I’m alone. For forcing me to find a strength I’ve never known.
- To all the friends that have stuck around since the beginning for showing me that not all people are bad. For teaching me how to see the true colors of people. For doing so little, but playing such a large role in my life.
- To all my new friends for showing me how to believe in the good in people again. For proving that things do get better. For being the ones to hype me up. For teaching me how to be a functional human being again and giving me something that I’ve always wanted. For not allowing me to feel as alone as I once did. For giving me hope for a better future no matter how dark my days get.
