Change and Progress

So much has changed in the course of this year. I have gone off to college and started living independently. I have escaped a world that held nothing but nightmares for me. Although there are days I still struggle I feel so much happier now. Nightmares still creep into my mind but I am becoming stronger. I can deal with them in healthier ways. I am starting to make the decision to not be ashamed of my past and share my story more openly than I have in the past. I have met some of the bestest friends here who I have learned to trust and depend on and they are always here for me. As of right now, the future seems brighter than ever and the past further away.
