Your story might not be the happiest or the funniest; most adventurous or filled with crazy love stories, but it's real. It's yours.
You might've done things that you wish you'd never done. You might have met people you wish you could un-meet. But every thing you did, everyone you met, ever thing you've experienced made you to who you are today. Before I started writing this blog I had a hard time owning up to my story. Most of my life was filled with moments, people and actions I wanted to forget or erase from not only my memory but from my life. Now that I've grown into myself, I've learned how to accept my story and own it. Every bad thing I've done has taught me a new way to deal with life and the choices I have to make. Every situation I didn't want to be in has taught me to look for certain red flags before I get stuck in a situation. Every person I met taught me which kind of people I do and do not want in my life. If I would be able to go back in time and undo every wrong in my life, I wouldn't be who I am today. Your past, no matter how much good or bad has happened, it's your past. It's your story. It made you who you are right this second. I decided to use my story to teach myself; to get to know myself. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You made a mistake, maybe a few or maybe a lot. Who hasn't? I know I made a lot of mistakes but I know better now. So those mistakes are now lessons from which I've learned a lot. Everybody has a story and a lot of people will tell you the good version and hide the rest. Not all of it is for everyone to know of course but it's about you accepting your past and moving on, with everything you've learned. Your growth might even inspire others too. Loving yourself means accepting yourself. You can't say you accept yourself but you still can't get over something you did.
