Four years ago I was 14 years old. An alcoholic on a path of destruction. Three years ago I was 15 years old. A girl madly in love for the first time. Two years ago I was 16 years old. I had lost everything I loved. One year ago I was 17 years old. Attempting to rebuild myself. Today I am 18 years old. Everything has changed. I've never been such a different person compared to the one I use to be. I always had one common attribute. I was depressed, angry, and unhappy. I was scared, anxious, and hated myself. So much has changed in the past few years. My friends. My family. My life. Who I am at the core. I'm truly happy now. So much has changed. Yet I look exactly the same.
