That's what I would tell myself.

uh i uh i have no words honestly um i never thought i would be here because i believed that for so long that i was gonna die a gutter junkie you know i believed that for so so long so now that um

I'm here today.

It's surreal.

I still don't know how to feel.

I'm awake.

That hurt.

I pinched myself.

We're good.

It's just surreal.

I'm so glad that

My friends were right.

You know, like my biggest asset is my story and my story is the biggest thing that can help somebody else.

And for like a long time, I'd be like, I don't have anything to say.

I don't have anything worth blah, blah, blah.

Again, that's just my little...

negative side talking and I've you know we put work I've put work into that into just kind of brushing it off be like that's not true you know like um so those positive affirmations the confidence building the um

it takes some effort.

It takes some time.

It feels weird at first, but it's worth it because now like I believe it and I don't believe the negative anymore.
