Dealing with yourself and others.

"We are all are, in one way or another, fucked up"...or at least that's what I like to believe. Let me explain: We all have our demons, we all have our fears, and we all have that one thought that will keep us up until the middle of the night. Sometimes we put those fears or thoughts aside or ignore them for the better of others. Other times though we kind of lose track of our mental barriers and all those thoughts rush in and hit us like an oncoming train. Next thing you know it's 4:00am and you have work at 8:30am and you haven't slept a wink and you look like the living dead during work.

I'm here to tell you my story of how I reached this conclusion, and how I accepted the fact that I wasn't going to be OK, but that at the same time I was.

You see, I moved away from Puerto Rico for very selfish reasons -the main one being that I had my heart broken- and I knew that I needed some time to think things through. So I started smoking cigarettes, and drinking beer with my best friend, at this time in my life it seemed silly but it did help us out through the tough times we were having (fights with parents, school, clashing with friends and the most influential...girl problems.), but after two weeks of this routine my parents decided to move to Florida, USA, and I jumped on with them. It took me some time to adjust (around a year and a half) but it helped me. I spent a year only dedicating myself to looking into me and seeing what things I had to correct and I realized that I just had to let go of the things that were eating at me...or if you may "fucking me up".

At this point, after meeting some people over here in Orlando, and seeing how different things were I saw that all of us have problems, we all deal with things to the best of our abilities and we all are "fucked up" in one way or another. The real point of this is to say "Hey you're not alone. We all have problems but it's ok to talk about them because you can lean on me and I can lean on you and we can get through this together", because we all have been there or will be there and can help each other out. So don't be afraid to admit it, because in reality it's the first step to getting better.
