I learned a lot of things on my trip. I have to say, things have been getting better and better for me the more I have stepped out of my comfort zone. 

Its been hard. Tough and not what i've expected. I've burned bridges, exacted my revenge, but in the mean while.. Created a new environment for not only myself but for others. I learned how leadership works.. I've learned how to work with others. I learned how to put my faith in others. 

Before I was very independent..for myself all for myself.. But thats because of how the world created me. I learned.. though I can rely on others. I can put my trust. In you guys, my taum squad.. my gf. 

When i was younger. I didn't see much of a future, I believed I was a big messup, that the world around me did not want someone like me. I was a very depressed young child with kind of family situations/friend situations that nearly took my life. 

I got a huge scar on my left arm from the wrist up to the middle of my arm from an attempt, that landed me into a hospital and a mental institute to heal myself. From that I learned.. I could take charge.. and stop worrying about all these people who cared nothing for me.. and be for myself only. That is what i was for a few years. 

I'm still an angry child from that. But i'm much stronger.. Much scarier now. Why? Because i wont let anyone steal my happiness. And due to that I've been able to take things with stride and have lots of pride in myself. 

And pride in you guys the community that grew up with me in my years. You guys all of you reading are a new start, a new beginning for me and for you. Let me help you learn.. and in return you can let me learn from you. 

I expect great things from you guys, as you interact with me.. and I want you to expect the same from me. 

Lets work together in creating a world thats our happiness.  Lets support each other. Lets walk through all the troubles we have together.

<3 Hearing other people, good people, inspiring people, like you...
Share the same fears, the same thought processes (both destructive and cheerful);
It reminds me that everyone is, at their core, the same. Human. Like me.
And this, honest journals willing to state things as they are,
are what continue to save my life.

I have some scars myself, long ones, shallow ones, deep ones...
From when I didn't know what else to do, and had no friends I could rely upon.
I was the reliable person, with the weight of everyone else's worlds on my shoulders.
Somewhere in trying to be the person everyone wanted or needed me to be,
I broke, and if I hadn't found people who could see me breaking...
I wouldn't be here. 
I withdrew to where people had no expectations of me, the internet.
And found people like you, like my (now) best friends.
People I love, even though I've only seen a few of their faces through skype calls.

And every time I see journals like this, reflecting on the past...
Every time I find myself happy to see that I'm not the only person who went through crap.
I'm not the only person who walked a fine line and made it to the end,
building a platform there to stand on and changing that line into a suspension bridge.
And better yet, I see you, and so many others, trying to pull people up from their own lines onto the safety of your bridges.
Thank you. :heart:
