2017 Wrap-up

2017 was definitely an eventful year, both for the good and bad, but I think it was for the best. The beginning of the year was rough, having to go to the mental hospital and get through another agonizing term of school. In April, I moved in with my best friend and sister, who flew out from Arizona to be with me.  At the end of July that amazing girl became my girlfriend and I was able to do a medical withdrawal from school to save my grades after the most stressful summer of my life.  During that summer I ended up parting from a lot of old friends, but I also came into contact with a few new one's after.  You all know who you are.  Into the end of the year, finishing of my last term of school before my break was definitely hard, but it's leading into a 2-term break until next fall.  Overall, 2017 was just one big learning experience.  I'm learning how to get more self-confidence and have a better self-image of myself.  I've stopped bad coping habits and worked on others as well as improved myself for the better. I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without Bails though.  She's been a huge factor in this year, from beginning to end, and she's made me such a better person because of it.  I've finally started to detach myself from my family, completely, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  They are toxic people.  They don't care for me and my well-being and if they did, they aren't doing it the right way.  I've come to realize the abuse I've been through my entire life, and truly started to recover from it and make myself who I want to be instead of what everyone else has molded me to be.  2018 has a lot of bright things to look forward to and I know for fact it's going to be better than 2017, no doubt.  I have new amazing friends beside me, my life in my own hands, and a plan ahead of me.  This time, I'm not going to cave in to others, I'm going to enjoy my life the way I want to.

Here's to a New Year.
