One Hell Journey

In the depths in myself I’ve come to learn more about me. More about the things I have done, the things I have accomplished in the 20 years I have been alive. I’ve been knees deep in all the crap I have been in, where I may have not known if I would be alive or not. I’ve been in my own nightmare for years but also I just pulled out. You will learn a lot about the mind inside, of the journeys, to fears, maybe even the excitement. You will also learn about the independence, Determination, and will power that I have. Here is my journey.
When I was little I had a handicapped brother. The word has is in there because he passed away when I was in 1st grade. My independence came in when I was little, my brother needed more time and money than I did. My mom really wasn’t around; I only had my dad at the moment. Once my brother got sicker than he was, we all knew he was going to pass. My family started to fight more and more, after that he passed and it was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. Our family almost lost it, my father became an alcoholic and my mom was a mess. I had to take care of myself and I have been Independent since. When I was 18 I moved out with my girlfriend and my old best friend. Lesson learned; if you don’t want to lose a friend, don’t move into a house together. The independence that I have, it’s good and bad. My girlfriend and I have such independence that we are only 20 and 21 and we have a house now.
Beyond the Independence, I have had the determination when fell in my hole, which was when I was around 10 going on 11, the hole I fell into got me into a crap ton of drugs and flunking out of school almost. When I was 16 I killed myself, when I mean killed myself and I’m still here is that I got revived back to life. Age of 17 stopped and thank god for everything he saved me from. I’m gay in a society of hate and religion, and I wait and fight for equality everyday while I get the bible shoved down my throat. I’m

    I don’t know how to begin to define myself in order for you to understand who I truly am. I believe there is more to a person than stories that mould us into who we are today; like when one asks, “Tell me your story," I don’t think about that time when my family broke into two or that time I was diagnosed with my mental illnesses. I think of coffee, because coffee is bitter and bitter people drink coffee, sad people; people with heavy hearts and heavy footsteps, with tangled thoughts, people with anxiety and words left unspoken, people like me. Lonely people drink coffee. I think of the world map I have in my room with thumbtacks marking every country I want to visit. I think of foreign languages, and how beautiful it sounds when words form…

    Happiness, bliss, love, thrill, fear, heartbreak, but there's one word that stood strong beneath each of those, depression. It’s sad to think, that what everyone had failed to see was, that behind that smile of mine, was a darkness with so much depth it engulfed me. The only one who had ever known was the girl that was like a sister to me, Elena. We battled depression together for years, she was the one who won her battle…I did not. I couldn’t, it’d become the taunting, negative voice that kept me up every night and the one that’d scream at me everyday. The tears that’d stain my pillowcase and the reason I hid behind a mask since I’d been ten years old. Slowly everyday that truly happy girl everyone would know, became the happy girl everyone knew. Only if they had known, I couldn’t ever figure out why it’d cloud my thoughts, kill my happiness, and take complete control of my life. But no one would ever know, because I was able to go through those days with a smile so bright, no one would question if I was okay or not. The truth is I wasn’t, everything inside of me was tumbling down and…

    Throughout my entire life, I have found that hard work and dedication can help me achieve any goal that I set. I have overcome the separation and lack of decent parents, incarceration of my oldest brother, and many other events with the morals and skills that were taught to me by my grandparents (who are my legal guardians). Due to their influence and love, I have always put my best foot forward and looked at the world with optimism. Since the second grade, I have been in gifted/honor courses, exceeded through my classes, and have made many friends. My backbone does not consist of selfish desires or influences; it consists of my morals and the family and friends that I do have pushing me to change the world.…

    Trying to go to school the next day. Standing in the shower thinking maybe if I dont get out I wouldn't have to start my day and move on with it all. But as the water turns to a shivering cold I realize it’s all too real. Pushing through the first five periods of the day, the last three seemed as too much. Feeling as if I will never be able to be happy again. All these gloomy days crafted me into who I am today. This whole experience making me grow up just a little bit faster, and a little more mature and understanding seeming as I already live the life as an adult, but only being a…

    There is one area that I lack in determination. I lack determination to go to church on Sundays. This is another aspect of determination, but it is very similar. Faith is a very powerful thing. A person with a very strong faith will find that even in the worst of times, there is a potential positive outcome. There have been many times that my faith has been tested. My faith is tested every day with everything that I do. If I do not have faith that there is another outcome in the end, then what is the point in being successful while I am here. The day I realized just how strong faith is, was the day that I was saved. That was the greatest day of my life. The amount of emotion that was forced out of me was like a knockout blow from a heavyweight boxer. The emotion that I was showing was not a bad emotion, it was a matter of having all the problems that I have and will have in the future, being lifted off my shoulders. Having faith can be one of the hardest things to have, it takes a strong-willed individual to not lose their faith at…

    Sometimes I walk past the house that’s filled with dread, hate and fear. Sometimes I think I put myself through the pain to make me stronger. Sometimes all I can feel is hate and anger filling my blood, my body and my mind. When I think of those years, the awaiting dark holes are released to blacken the rest of the few memories filled with light.…

    As a young child my mom always worried about me because I had no fear. I didn't like being told what to do and I would do my own thing.

    I looked day and night because I knew what my grandmother had told me was right. If I wanted things, I had to be independent and get it myself because no one else would do it for me. I eventually found a job at McDonald’s and began to save up my money so I could reach other goals. After saving up enough money, I bought a car. I began to then buy all the little things that I wanted. The feeling of independency was great. I didn’t have to ask my mother or my grandmother for anything. I got it all on my own and I was extremely proud of myself. I applied my grandmother’s aphorism of being independent because I knew adult was coming quickly. I needed to prepare myself for something great. I would soon be on my own, and I would have no one to rely on but myself. I knew that my mom wanted me to be independent so that was a goal I had to reach. Anytime someone felt like their parents would be there for them forever, I would share my grandmother’s aphorism with…
