I don't know if anyone is ever going to read this, but i have to get it out.
Sometimes living at home can be sooooooo toxic for your mental health.
I had all i could ask for. I had amazing parents who let me do what I wanted. I had amazing friends. Basically, anything I asked for, I got.
But you know that saying, “you feel alone in a crowded room” that rang so true for me. I never thought i truly fit in. I was such a sad little girl. I partied my life away. I drank aimlessly just to get out of my life for awhile and not be me. I wasn't going to any of my classes and flunking out of university.
But then everything changed. I had the opportunity to move away to Aruba.
Man, that one decision changed my life completely. I am so grateful for this opportunity. Moving away taught me so much, it was exactly what i needed to do and it came at the perfect time.
I learned who I really was being away from it all. Im not a sad little girl anymore. I don't feel hopeless anymore. I now know i have the ability to do anything i want in life. I now know I'm a strong independent woman who can make it out there on my own. I can stand up on my own 2 feet now.
All i needed was to step away from my current situation and take a risk and jump into something else.
