hello stranger.
Let me tell you a little bit about my life.
I could sit here and write a sob story about all the friends and family members I have lost. I could tell you all about my heartbreaks and the rough patches I've been through. I could tell you how stressful my life is and how I am only 19 but feel like I am 25.
But I'm not going to.
I'd rather sit here and tell you about the love in my life. This unbelievable happiness I have found, which I have never felt before. I have realized so many things in the past few weeks. I do believe that not taking my medicine has opened my eyes to a whole different world that I was missing because my eyes were blind to everything that was going on. I was numb. But here I am. Being ME. Nothing feels greater than that. Nothing feels greater than NOT relying on a pill every night to make me feel normal. This was a major step for me. Also with my eyes newly opened, I have realized the love that my boyfriend gives me is real. I can FEEL it and I know it is genuine. I can feel the love of my friends. I can feel their generosity and their sincerity and their trust. I can feel the pain of my father going back to his old bad habit. I can feel the pain of a friend going through a heartbreak.
I know this all sounds normal to you, but it is all new to me. It feels like I can feel things for the first time. It feels like I am falling in love all over again. I feel like a new person.
I feel
and no one knows how great that is.
Love,
Me
