Day Two:

*HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED IN THE PAST 2 YEARS/WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN 10 YEARS

+2 years ago, in January, I was 18 1/2. I was living in Ekron with  my aunt and uncle. Things were going okay, as good as they could be considering my personal circumstances. In a few short weeks, though, my entire life would change drastically. In the past 2 years, I've changed enormously. I've moved out onto my own, dropped out of college, enrolled and graduated beauty school, made wonderful friends and gotten rid of rotten ones. 2 years ago, I never thought this would be my life…the one I have now. I've changed for the better, I believe, and I think it can only get better.I've had to grow up faster than I cared to and it's been a tough feat. I've struggled with depression, addiction, anxiety and at times, pure loneliness. I've lost most of my immediate family, going through the 5 stages of grief over each and every one, and my reputation has been dragged through the mud countless times. Through all these terrible times, though, I've made a new family and grown closer to my friends. I've gained people that have faith in me and have kept me going through the difficult time. The past 2 years have been the hardest times I've ever encountered. I have faith, though, that things will look up for me and hopefully soon.

+In 10 years, I'll be 30. Scary to think about but anymore, life is so fast paced and it's sometimes hard to keep up with.  I hope to be going full force in my career as a cosmetologist, married and though I don't have any plans for kids, they may weasel their way into my life by the time I'm 30. I hope to be settled down by then and though most people want to be hitting their prime at 30, I would rather sow my wild oats before then. The most I can ask out of my next 10 years, is to be genuinely happy; To have conquered all my demons, gotten over past tragedy and be mentally stable. I want to have the life I've always imagined and I know I'm the only person who has control over where my life goes and I intend to pave the way accordingly.
