Thank you!
Becoming an adult has proven to be one difficult task. I'm expected to wake up early every day. I'm expected to pay the bills, feed myself, learn how to cook (still in progress), among all these other responsibilities I did not sign up for when I was 16 and dreaming of the day I'd be on my own.
It is not a secret that one of the hardest things I faced, that forced me to grow up, was a heartbreak a couple years back. It took a long time to feel like myself after that, and it took a lot of work. Work that, in all honesty, sucked. But I grew from it and though the path was in no way easy, I think I came out as a better person from the experience.
That experience was recently attacked. That work, thrown in my face. It was beyond devastating to have someone, who seemingly supported me through that time, remind me of where I was in such a hurtful way.
After that, I reached out to family and friends. My parents stayed on the phone with me for hours while I cried so hard I couldn't breathe. My friends have reminded me how far I've come. Over the course of three days after the hurt, I was lifted up.
I have received so many calls, texts, cards, and emails from people, and I want to take a moment to thank you. I feel beyond grateful to have people who know the dark parts of me, and see who I have become from it. There was a time I felt completely alone, and now, I feel nothing but love and support. There are not enough words to express my gratitude.
I believe part of growing up also includes learning the tough lesson of who your friends are. It's a really hard one to learn. However, I'm going to spin it around in this case, because while I am devastated about one friend, I am so thrilled to find the loyal friendships in other people.
Thank you all so much for standing by me through the good and the bad xoxo
