Forgiveness

No amount of distraction was going to help me forget. That's when I knew that it was time for me to leave. The only way I was going to be able to move on with my life was to physically remove myself from all of the pain. This also meant that I had to leave everything I had ever known. I had to remove myself from Justin, a boy I was once madly in love with. I had to remove myself from my sister, my parents, my aunt, my beautiful baby cousin, my friends, and from the only city I had ever called home.
I had to burst the bubble that had engulfed my life in order to force myself to leave my comfort zone.
I needed to find peace. My life had spiraled into an uncontrollable whirlwind of chaos. The lies, the infidelity, the abuse, the drugs, the depression, was going to kill me if I didn't separate myself from it all. I was tired of being angry. I was tired of constantly crying. I was tired of the anxiety that always pushed down on my chest.
I knew down in the recesses of my being that I could create a better life for myself. All I had to do was summon the courage to leave.
This is a heart warming story of how a young women learns the invaluable lessons of faith, understanding, and forgiveness.
