Today I faced one of my biggest
fears. I talked to 2 eighth grade, 2 seventh grade, and 2 sixth grade classes
about the issues that I have had to face ever since 7th grade. I was
so nervous, I was shaking when I was about to begin talking to them. However,
once I started talking, it surprisingly became really easy to talk to all these
people. Which is weird, I never thought that this would be even remotely close
to being easy to talk about with people for me. I think it’s because I’ve
always tried so hard to hide all these issues and so now, when I finally had
the chance to help others and get the word out there, it all just spilled out
of me. And it went really well!!!
I talked to them about my
experiences, choosing positive people to surround yourself with, focusing on
their dislikes rather than their likes, and even the importance of setting
goals. So it was kind of ironic talking about this stuff because today I
achieved one of MY goals that I had been setting out to achieve for a little
while now. I have a new set of confidence today that I didn’t have yesterday or
before this experience. I met some amazing people, all of which I wish I could
give a big hug and tell them that it will be ohkay. They were all amazing and
inspiring people and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the
world. I’m blessed beyond what words can express (:

say to me,
Away from all of
reality,
Neverland is home to
lost boys like me,
And lost boys like me
are free.”
