I know I've been telling myself over and over again, that I need to change; that only I can start a different life; that my future rests on myself.

And I think I've done it, for real. I mean, it's taken a long while, but I am no longer a child.

I've learned to never lean on anyone... the hard way.

But I've been given the push that I know I needed.

So I'm... excited?
