I look back on the dark months that i went through... flunking out of school , saying goodbye to the friends that became like family , leaving Colorado , commuting from home , being caged up with my parents , spending weekends alone...
I remember thinking about how purely and deeply unhappy I was and holding on to the thought that months from then I would be back where I belonged, in Colorado, and most of all that I would be truly happy again.
And now, I'm sitting here, so happy I can't put it to words. I am working, partying, dating, laughing, and finally living.
My friend alyssa got me a job in an ice cream shop, I am making money, I will get a paycheck this week, it's such a great feeling. My life has stability and purpose. I have a reason to get up every morning because I know every day is in my hands, not my parent's, not the school system's, and not the police's. I make my happiness each and every day. There is no feeling better than this.
