An Experience that Made Me Who I am Today
I can safely say that one year ago I was a totally different person than I am now. I also have no trouble pin pointing the exact moment things changed. A year ago I was battling depression, struggling to finish my degree, losing my drive at work, drinking, eating way too much, making the wrong friends and overall in a very dangerous place. How I had gotten myself here? I'm not quite sure, they say hindsight is 20/20 but things are still a little fuzzy. I know many of the factors leading up to it, but that's besides the point anyways, right?
The moment things changed for me was when I saw those two little pink lines. The moment I knew I was going to be a mother my world changed - and so did I. I beat my depression, got back in contact with my family, got my motivation back, finished school (with no trouble), moved away from a toxic environment, started a healthy lifestyle, even started praying again. I mended broken bridges and made a promise to be the best person I could be; if not for myself then for my wee one-to-be.
I have a completely new outlook on life, I am not nearly as naive as I was and much more 'grown up', if you will. I am proud of who I am again, and happy. I am not saying its not hard, that its not a struggle every day to be a better me - but I now have the drive and a reason to keep going.
