At first, I didn’t want to do this. I didn’t care. You know how it is — if you don’t want to change, you won’t. Nobody can do it for you. I had a lot of trauma, and there was a lot of stuff that I never had the opportunity to work through. Now, though… I tear up thinking about it. This was the first time I was able to get therapy as an adult, and it changed everything. I was in a bad place mentally, and everything was messed up. I realized that I needed help. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs and things I still need to work on, but I can get there now. I’m finishing up my college education, and I know what my priorities are. I’m happy I went through this so that I could get the help I needed.
