Since I decided to start to post my "Strangers With Memories" story here. I wanted to let you wonderful people in on a little secret. All you people I got to know after I started writing, you are so wonderful. And I know that I wouldn´t be where I am today, and have that confidence I have now, if it wasn´t for you. So thank you. You helped make this happen... I have eternal gratitude!
I´m not giving everything in my story away, so this is just like a prologue. A little intel of my life.
It´s been rough. Started rough, and then it just kept getting worse and worse (why will be revealed in the story). For the majority of my life I hated myself, the way I looked, my weight, my choices. Everything. I´m not saying this for you to feel bad for me. I´m saying this because I know I´m not the only one struggling with this. And I hope that my story, my journey, can help you.
A little while ago I made a 4 minute video. so here it is..
These past few months from April until now. Have given me more than all of my 39 years have given me combined. I´ve "met" so many amazing people. Talked to people I never even dreamt about talking to. My dream is now actually in sight. I can smell it, feel it, almost touch it.
The world changed when I gained confidence. Even the colours are brighter. The air smells fresher. I actually want to get up in the morning. Most of all thanks to you guys. Commenting, voting, messaging me. I love you all. And I really, really, really hope my story is inspirational, and that it shows you that your dream can come into reality. Just keep holding on. It might be dark now, or it might get dark at some point. But there is always light, even though you might not see it right now. Just around that next corner, there might be something absolutely wonderful waiting for you. And, trust me when I say this. You matter to the world. The world is a better place with you in it. So keep on going, fighting. Cry if you have to, but keep going.
And finally, at last. Although I know none of them are on here (I told them on Instagram). I have to shout out a BIG thank you, to Mark Strange, Lima X Art, Frank Grillo and Greg Fitzpatrick. Loving, caring, amazing people. And I am so thankful for everything you did and continue to do for me.
