Two years ago a new chapter of my life was opened, it wasn't a good one but it was a hell of a show. I learned and grew and became new. I was so young and very very naive to the world and the way it changes and shows itself. People who were my whole world, are people who I no longer think of. People who I didn't know existed then have made my life worth something now. It's incredible how fast your whole world can turn upside down. My life went from having a family of eight people who never got a long but to me that was family. Now I know family's are supposed to actually love. That's where love comes from, right? The future is here, its really here. Everything I dreamed of is here. I'm leaving this house that once held so much but no longer does. Tomorrow feels like a victory of a long race to the finish line. Although, it was a very long and hard two years those memories of everything still pop into my head like they happened yesterday. I know they didn't and I now know how to move on from something. To forget and forgive and decide how I want my life to go. People go through more difficult things everyday but for me this was a mountain that I had to climb and now I'm standing still on top with people who support me, with things that are good for me, and with a sense of how the world works. It may have taken me 24 months to finish to race but I'm still here to tell the stories, and I'm ready for the next mountain to climb.
