I can't tell you how touched I am.
A friend asked me "why the hell would you make that post and put all that out there, aren't you embarrassed?".

I'm so glad I did!

Hopefully, it will give someone hope and help them realize that no matter how bad things are, they can be completely different if you want it bad enough.
Again, Thank you everyone!!!
