Sometimes I get caught up on the negative things happening in my life, ignoring the positive things. It's a bad habit, and a hard one to break. I always try to keep a positive mindset and look for the good in a bad situation. There are days when I can't help but smile because of how lucky I am to be where I am in life. It still shocks me to this day (almost 5 years later) that I am living my dreams. I live in California, where I've wanted to live since I was 11 years old and visited for the first time. I'm alive, I am healthy, I am happy, I live in a beautiful apartment with the most loving and beautiful dog in the world in the one of the best cities in the world. I may not have exactly everything I want, but I have a lot. I look around at my surroundings and smile so big because I did it. I made my dreams come true. Now, I'm ready to make even more come true. It doesn't stop at just living in California and graduating college. I'm onto the next step. I don't really know what that is, but I'll figure that out on the way. I'm so happy to be breathing in this beautiful world. I never thought I'd make it this far, I never pictured myself capable of being this happy and loving myself as much as I do. It took me a long time to get here, but I am so damn glad I did. I'm really proud of myself for not giving up when I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. Life threw me a lot of punches, but I always picked myself back up and I will continue to do so. Nothing can stop me. No one can bring me down. I hope I can inspire others to follow their dreams and not give up. Life is too beautiful to give up and I'm reminded of that every day. I'm so grateful that I didn't kill myself that day. Thank you to everyone who has loved me and supported me through my journey. Thank you to all the people that helped me in my darkest times. For now, you get to see me in my brightest times and I think it's only going to up from here. <3
