SPORADIC UPDATE AFTER 2 YEARS
I turn 20 in a couple of months.
I am a first year at University in the US cause it is easier (although nothing has gone as planned)
In 10th grade, I realized I finally had a close-knit friend group, although I didn't gain proper social skills till ending of 11th grade.
I also am not as introverted as before (I can casually talk to people when I want to), so I made many friends at Uni.
As far as I can tell, I also am not suffering from crippling depression and anxiety anymore (It'll be a year in about two months)
I will also go back and delete ALL my comments relating to politics and religion (I am still a Christian; I'd be an absolute fool not to) because my beliefs have changed and improved.
Genuinely looking back, I'd legit smack my younger self in the face for some of the things I believed in and said.
Although I was also incredibly damaged/traumatized (and still am damaged and traumatized, I'm just able to cope with it better and section it for now)
But yeah, from being extremely conservative (but still a feminist, which is honestly a weird combination but also the reason I was able to think about my beliefs and change properly.) to a left-leaning centrist
cause tbh you; people are tripping
Honestly, I wish I could apologize to the people I debated with because I get it now.
Trying to have a consistent prayer life now is difficult, but I know it will be so worth it in the end.
I'm also trying to read more, so I may get a kindle.
Life isn't good or perfect right now, but I know that I can at least try my best (with God's grace to handle it now)
I don't know if people care enough to read this announcement, but it's been on my mind, and I would at least like to clarify my conscience.
