I'm 19.... this year has been crazy. It's been hectic and refreshing, heartbreaking and full of love. So much went wrong but so much more has gone right. I've finally reached a pivotal point for myself and grown in a lot of ways since last year. There have been so many changes; as much as it terrified and excited me I am so glad, proud and blessed they happened. I wouldn't change anything from this time as it took all of it: good and bad for me to get here. Two years ago, I was broken, hurt, and scared. I was still dealing with self-harm, a lifetime of depression, self-esteem issues, and playing the back up for everyone else; sitting by watching myself fall apart as I tried to fix everything and everyone else, never speaking my mind and playing games with my head. 1 year ago I had actually started fighting for myself and I finally made it. I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not allowing myself to be walked on and used; it's not perfect and I still have battles to fight daily but I can say I'm healthier and I'm stronger. I'm so blessed to have had the love and support I found last year...

Happy birthday to me. 💕
