I finally have turned the big 18, and honestly I didn’t think I would be here to see this day. I had so much stuff going on when I was in 8th grade to 9th that I thought of killing myself. I had the bottle in my hands but something told me not to like I was worth something. And so I looked at myself in the mirror and put the bottle back. That was 4 years ago and it’s been imprinted in the back of my mind and today to me celebrates that I made it through my rough childhood and now I can do something for myself.
