I made a promise to myself after meeting Maui. I promise i will work toward my dreams and become happy for me not for anyone else, I was going to work hard to create the life I want not the one other say is best for me this was my new mindset, I wasn’t going to let anything get to me not my family, not friends, not a boyfriend, nothing. I was going to be happy because I deserve it just as much as anyone else, nor was I going to make anyone change my character with their opinions and believe and no one will ever get to me again, I will no longer get attached to these people that are only out to hurt me am going to better myself and stay around people that bring out the best in me. That was the new mindset and after about four months of working on myself and trying not to go back to old habits because the temptation to do so was strong, but I didn’t give up and that was one of my best decisions, I started to smile more, I felt happier and I improved as I person, Its being almost a year since I broke down, I never cut again and no one notice the scares. Am doing good for myself and if I could go back and change anything I wouldn’t because all my struggles were lessons that made me the person I am today, I no longer make others walk over me and I try to be a voice for those who feel silence, I still endure hardship but I will never let it define me I will however try to learn from it and bounce back stronger and better than ever. So whenever I get asked that question now instead of saying the people around I say me, and I don’t feel guilty or stuck up for loving me more than anyone else I know. So to compete I no longer live for others or their opinion or validation and it feels amazing, I now smile a genuine smile because am living for me and loving me flaws and all.
