For the last hour I’ve been sitting in my posted spot in the kitchen;
Yearning to be in your arms.
Looking back on my entire life I’ve been through ten times as much as anyone normal my age has;
And it’s made me ten times stronger but sometimes the bad days make me feel like I’ll never make it through.
You don’t know much about how I grew up;
Or anything about what the foster care system put me through
but that’s okay because what you do know is the current result of
me trying to push through all that and make a life for myself anyways.
From every single kind of abuse
you can think of to self harm and drug addiction-
My life was never easy.
However;
Sitting here in this kitchen now I realize I’ve been clean for over a year;
Most of my scars have long past healed and I’m finally happy because I’m well on my way to having the life I wanted for myself.
With school starting for me in
only a couple weeks and college coming next fall;
I couldn’t be anymore proud of myself.
Needless to say you’ve helped
me so much and while I could have done this without you my love-
I never would have wanted to.
