The moment I felt like I was maturing as a person was that I was starting to take responsibility for my own actions, reactions and choices. You never think before you act sometimes. When you say something you regret you wish you could take words back. I have been thinking about my mental health. I know God is with me wherever I am. I also hallucinate sometimes. It’s hard to describe an illness like my illness. It’s hard some days. I have been trying to continue to be kind and respectful to others. I also am happy because it’s good to be me, but I’m in a good place. I don’t want to harm myself though. I want to live and enjoy the life I have with all of my choices but I am also trying to become more self sufficient. I have always understood why everything that makes it cool to be me now may have just been easier after all.
I always felt like it was always better to give than to receive.
