Discovering myself

I'm not the same anymore; over the years I've noticed many changes in myself. Many individuals might say "change" isn't necessarily a good thing, but in this situation I believe it's for the better. I've been through a lot in the past years and certain situations made me grow, grow to a point in where I've learned to see life in various ways. When I run into a problem and I find myself chained to the floor, I always stop and say to myself "You've overcame many obstacles, you've achieved a lot, why let this situation stop you". Then I think and know that it will only make me stronger. Life has a lot of downs and getting back up will only make one stronger. I always think of my parents and letting them down is not an option. I am strong.
