Chapter 8: Food for thought

when life throws you curve balls, whether it be a family members death, a serious illness that befalls you, when a person forces themselves onto you, you must not let these things get you down. i have experienced more physical and emotional pain than most 20 year olds have in their lives, but i choose to keep going forward and not let what others have done to me, what others have said to me, what others have said about me. it is all irrelevant because unless you let another persons opinions affect you, than people have no control over your psyche. only when we finally accept ourselves, faults and all can we live truly honest lives, and be our true self.
