I know that I’ll be a guidance counselor in 5yrs with my masters degree then a Professional Psychologist in 10yrs with my Ph.D. But right now I’m enjoying everyday doing GREAT in my GED classes, starting my extra online tutoring for my weak points, and plan to become a student worker for DACC while doing a odd job (house cleaning) for some extra money out of school REAL soon. I started my life at 22 years old after fucking around since I was 13. But thats okay, sometimes people aren’t ready to get their shit together at 18 or even 16, and not everyone has their shit together in their 20s but my dad told me as long as you’re trying you’re not losing. I have a healthy happy relationship with a wonderful hard working man for 4+yrs that I have grown with since childhood, a pet cat we take care of like its our own child, and a apartment getting redone currently that we will have the keys to when its finished. I spent years feeling like a piece of shit bum ass bitch, but I’m here to tell you as a person with no special connections, came from a poor family, and is on head medicine for various forms of anxiety & depression for over 3yrs, that anything is possible, that negative voice in your head is lying too you, people care about you, and you have the power and control of your life in the palm of your hands.

Today my mother told me she was proud of me. Finally, at 22 years old after being the disappointment of the family, the drop out, the disrespectful hateful girl, the pothead, and the one that showed zero interests in doing squat with myself – I finally achieved my goal of putting a smile on my parents faces with achievements and effort and making my mom proud of me.

Bitch, I’m FLOURISHING.
