How I took the role of my familys scapegoat.
Why I need the comfort of a mans arms to feel happy.
What I do understand is you learn with every trial that you're put through to make you a stronger, better person.
Life is too short to be sad over the little things.
No matter how dark the world may seem, there is still beauty out here. You just have to look in the right places.
