Nobody knows how much I suffered these last years. I almost gave up and almost lost myself because I was hurting a lot. Nobody really knows how many times I pulled myself together just to survive these last years. I am so proud of myself for being here. I've learned that I am a strong person. I also learned to forgive myself for letting myself settle for less than what I truly deserved These may have been the most painful years for me, but at least I survived a lot.
