Just Gotta Have Hope

Life can get you down,  I myself have been through it. It happens. It happens to some people more than others. Usually it happens to the people that do not deserve it; which makes it much more confusing. But hey, this story isn't meant to scream poor me. A big topic for stories that I have heard about a lot recently is the topic of abandonment. This can really mess with someone mentally; and people always end up dealing with it in different ways. Sadly, most of the time, it sometimes make people fall into the easier path of doing negative things.

I, myself have been abandoned; in fact more than once. How does that happen? The people who ended up helping me out by taking me in,  ended up doing the same thing to me again. The first time, I was just left at a doorstep; the second, left without food or money to the point where I started losing weight. I am not just talking about the couple pounds that the weight scale may have misread. I am talking over fifteen pounds of weight just gone. If you knew me, you would say how you could get any skinnier. As you could imagine, this is a rough thing to go through. To this very day, I have had zero family there for me.  Back to what I said before, this story is not meant to scream poor me.

I did not fall in to the easy path of bad ways to overcome this tough obstacle that I faced. I cannot take all the credit though; because of all the people that I have lost in my life, I have met so many people and they have changed my life forever.  They have turned into my family and now I would not rather have it any other way. Also, I have some pretty awesome friends that I have met over the years and people that have been my friends almost forever; they have made things much easier for me. They have stuck by me through all of the difficult times. With them by my side, I can overcome anything. Without them, I have a strong feeling that I would not be in college right now, nor have a descent mindset about where I am going in life or how I can get there.

Everything happens for a reason, people come in and out of your life and no matter if it is a good thing or a bad thing, it is important to accept things and move on because you cannot let anyone bring you down.  You are the one who has control over what your future will bring. The things you go through make you who you are today. Now looking back, I am not mad about what has happened to me because it has impacted my life with just as much positive that it has negative. All because I just had hope that things would get better and they have.
