Anonymous A
Hi, I’m Anonymous A and I’m 18 years old. This is my story.
A lot of bad luck has come my way throughout the years. There have been times when I felt like giving up and giving in. I lost a ton of great people in my life. I've made stupid choices and stupid mistakes. But I could never go as far as to harm myself in a way where I'd never recover. Even though I made bad choices, I don't regret them anymore. If I hadn't made so many bad choices I wouldn't know how to prevent myself from making them in the future. I know I've made tons of mistakes, but I don't regret those either. If I hadn't made any mistakes, I wouldn't have anything to look back on. The mistakes I made closed a lot of doors for me but also opened a whole new set of doors after. I used to frown upon my life way to much when I should have been smiling and happy about it. I'm alive, I'm safe, I'm loved, I have a house to live under, I have food, I have a family that stayed as one, I have a wonderful dog Luke, I have friends and an amazing girlfriend. And you know what? It works.
