changes

well, what can i say. i graduated. i never thought i would say those words. but i did it. i now go to college a four hour drive away from home which is hard some days but others its almost like this is where im supposed to be. i have pictures and letters from home all in a little shoe box labeled memories for when times get tough. the school is smaller than the ones that are only thirty minutes away from my house but sometimes it feels like i could be swallowed up by how big the campus is. ive learned to take it one day at a time otherwise i get overwhelmed. my parents took in a girl i graduated with. she needed someplace to stay while she tries to get back on her feet. shes sweet. shes shy. and i think shes great, dont get me wrong. i just feel replaced sometimes. some days i feel like my world is falling apart so fast i cant pick up the pieces. other times it feels like its just a small crack. sometimes i want things to go back to the way they were but i know that can never happen. we all have to grow up sometimes and its hard. but as i always say, its just another bump in the road. you may be in a car going 90 mph over it and lose your tires but its not the end of the world.

blood

 family is not always blood. blood is not always family. family is not always safe. sometimes your chosen family and found family is safer than your blood family. realizing you were no longer safe for me was one of the hardest pills I ever had to fucking swallow. family is not always blood and you are no longer my family.

it gets better

when i was in high school, i did not feel like i belonged. i was suicidal, i struggled with depression, anxiety and an eating disorder. i was sure that i would end it all. i never thought that id make it to college. never thought that i would graduate high school. here i am, writing at 12:48 am about my past and im filled with gratitude and tears. i graduated high school but not only that i beat my eating disorder, i got help for my anxiety and depression, and i even got a tattoo to remind me where ive been. it gets better. it truly does. ask for help, talk to someone. even if its just a friend. thats how it can start. it truly does get better. i know it may not feel like it now but it does and one day you will look back on your life and be grateful you kept living. i see you. im here. i hear you. i love you. you are worth it. you are beautiful.
