Life’s Changes
We all go through changes. Whether it be physical, mental, or physiological. They can be good, easy changes or they could be unhealthy and detrimental. You’re always changing whether you want to or not. It’s all apart of growing up. Changes can be fast and simple or drag out and be quite painful. Recently I’ve changed for the better and couldn’t be more proud of myself. I’ve matured tremendously and seemed to have straightened out the majority of my priorities. When they say life’s like a roller coaster they really weren’t kidding. It’s a roller coaster that you can’t get off. It never stops and the longer you’re on it the faster it goes. As I get older time speeds up. It’s like just yesterday I was 16 years old still in a mentally abusive relationship and fighting depression like no other. I know you’re not supposed to reminisce about the bad things in your past but my mind is like a time-traveling space-ship of some sort. It takes me back and makes me relive every excruciating detail of my past.
I am not the same person I was a few years ago. My whole mindset has changed and that’s a good thing. I was headed down a dark and dingy path throughout high school. I was stealing, smoking, popping pills, self-harming myself, etc. I don’t think anybody realized how bad I was. Nobody knew half of the shit I was doing in the first place. I’m proud of the young adult I have become. It was just time for me to grow up. If I never would have changed it would have been even harder for me to find the right path to go down. I struggled and climbed out of the hole I had dug for myself. Now I’m working my way to the top slowly but surely.
