Question

Pixiebih · Accepted Answer

The change I went through to become who I am today. I struggled greatly with anxiety and depression for most of my life, and it didn’t help that everyone in my family was the same way and it effected me greatly because I was the youngest.
Some events happened during the 8th grade that really took a blow to my mental health and did a snow ball effect all the way through Highschool and I started getting into drugs and legal trouble. Senior year and the summer after graduation it got real bad. I was in serious legal trouble and I thought about kms all day every day. I was truly in my rock bottom. Thankfully I had many people helping me pull my way out of the hole I dug myself. Even tho I had multiple people helping me I still have to give credit to myself for becoming who I am today because at the end of the day, the main thing that helped me was me! I wanted to get better I wanted to hold myself to higher standards I wanted to be the best I can be and now I’m 4 months sober of everything, got a stable living situation and two stable jobs,(a full time job with overtime and a part time job that goes straight into savings. I bettered myself so much that I can now be the one to hold out my hand and lift people back on their feet!

Honestly they would be disappointed. I had really big dreams. Yes I got a masters degree and yes I work for a coal company but what I wanted to do isn’t what I’m doing now. I said I wanted to be married this year and had the exact date picked out. Well that’s not going to work because I’m still single. I do like this one guy and I don't know how to tell him as we don’t talk a bunch and I don’t see him. I might just say f*** it and choose him as a flight instructor teacher but I’m afraid I wouldn’t pay much attention. I’m hopeful and my friends now that. My younger self would be proud of a couple things but not everything and I’m not going to lie about that either.

How many jobs I've had so far, and the different things I learnt in different industries, and that I can drive. Still don't own my own dream car though, not even a dream sports car, I'm not into those. Lol. Not as a car of my own. But back to the question, my CV (resume) and that I drive since I got my driver's at 18 or was it 19 I think it was. Anyways 🙃
