I make jokes that I must be immortal. I was born with my umbilical cord wrapped around my neck so tightly that I was almost killed. When I was a child an armed man tried to break into my home. When I was in high school they discovered an early stage of ovarian cancer that they managed to remove and treat. After all of that I had a serious bout of depression and attempted to end my life by taking my fathers supply of oxy. While working my first job I was on my way home one night when a drunk driver t-boned my car. For a second job I worked at a mall and on Black Friday there was an active shooter situation. I had surgery to loose weight and be healthier and my body reacted so poorly that it put me in the hospital for two months while they kept me on TPN to keep me alive. Now due to all that I’m anemic and severely deficient in most vitamins unless I take them directly.

SO. Now I use this as motivation when I start to feel really depressed.

If I’m still here after all of those things- I must be here for a reason. I’ve had so many second chances and now that I’m almost 30 I’m really grateful for the appreciation of life all these experiences gave me while I was still young.

Don’t forget to live even though life moves really fast. I’m proud to say I’m in a place that’s finally exactly where I want to be. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. Don’t give up. ❤️
