Throughout my life, growing up I had to overcome many
challenges and obstacles. My parents divorced when I was six years old and
ever since then I had to face several challenges. I got bullied, I lost family
members, I moved with my aunt and lived without my parents or siblings around.
I developed many insecurities and lost all hope and courage in my life.
For a period of time I was in a constant battle with myself; the monsters
within me took over and always told me I wasn’t good enough. There was
mornings I would wake up and wish that I hadn't, I would isolate myself and not want
to be around people. I always wanted to be alone, but at the same time I hated
being alone. I always wondered why these monsters always attacked me until I
found out that depression was the answer. Depression had made me lose all hope
that things would get better, that everything would be okay. I had no courage to
get up in the mornings and face humanity, but I had to. I was my worst enemy and
time and time again those monsters would try and enter my life. My family and
friends helped me get rid of these horrible attacks and helped me overcome this
dark stage in my life. I can admit that I am still my worst critic, but I
am able to still feel pride in myself. It took a while to feel normal, but
without the help and support from my family, I would probably still have these
monsters attacking me.
