They say in life that you can either let experiences hold you back with bitterness and regret or you can allow them to mold you into the person you were destined to be.  Sometimes awful things happen and it leaves you asking why.  But if you keep moving forward, even if it is one step at a time, someday you will be able to see all the special gifts that you were afforded along the way.  I finally have enough wisdom to say that I would not change anything that has ever happened to me because the person who I am today would not exist.  I hope you enjoy my candid truth, lessons, and my raw emotions in hopes that you too can heal, laugh, and love.
