I wrote this when I was 18 years old, battling some serious demons. This was about a year and a half before I tried to take my life. As a 21 year old woman, seeing this and remembering where I was-- it's very powerful for me. It's a reminder of growth and that things get better with time.

For those who read this, it's important to know that this was just a pit stop on my journey with mental health. I was young and afraid to ask for help, so I pushed it all down. If you or someone you know is in a similar place, call someone. You are loved and you are valid.
