Life has always been a struggle, since before I was born. Now, I'm 25 years old, and I'm just trying to figure everything out. I don't have all the answers to all the things, or really, any answers to anything. What I do have, is life-experience. I try to tell myself that if life has been this much of a challenge so far, then there is nothing I cannot handle, and that better days are just waiting to happen.

Being born 11 weeks early, into a broken family, being the only child of a chronically ill, recovering prescription pain pill addict, being neglected and abused, struggling with my own chronic illnesses, dropping out of high school, going to college, struggling with grief, struggling with jobs, depression, anxiety, mental health - You name it, odds are, I've been through it in some form or another. I might not have any answers, but I'm sure of one thing: Whatever it is I'm going through, I'll get through it, and I'll be alright somehow. If you're reading this, and relate to any part of it, I hope you'll be alright too.
