Healing and Growth

I truly believe this is the last day that I’ve decided to finally stop caring about people and their opinions. I get it, this was a turbulent year for a lot of people. Predictably so and I was one of them. I screamed, I cried, and I laughed all at the same time. It became weirdly painful and I did not know how to express it since everyone else had their own issues. I smoked because of the family I had. I smoked because I found myself caring way too much for strangers and this was the year that I needed to be broken down. No one would believe me if I said I cried about my family for five years straight after graduation. I thought if I kept the family abreast on the timeline I witnessed throughout life itself, we would be okay, but I guess not.
