I've Come Far, But Have So Many More Miles To Go
It's funny but I think I actually made this group myself way back in the old days of EP. Yes I have been using sites like this for that long.
When I made that group and the post within it, it was to talk about me beginning to overcome my depression and open up, after making alot of friends online.
Kick the can down several years later and here at 23 i'm writing a very similar post for different reasons.
Why? Because I've finally made great headway in overcoming my shyness and anxiety and really becoming my own person, all after making alot of friends offline this time.
For years I struggled with my weight, with depression, with loneliness and isolation. I thought I could never grow, could never escape from the situation I was in. I gave in to self-pity, the worst emotion ever and never allowed myself the chance to grow convinced it would always fail and woe to me.
A few years ago I finally got my ass into the gym and working out and from there my life just changed. I overcame my weight problem, but my shyness still remained. This year I have finally dealt with it.
I was so scared after I left university about what I'd do, existing outside the world of the educational system, i was terrified. Then I found a job and from there my life changed. I met some awesome people, made some great friends and really pushed myself, I knew after I overcame my weight problems that I could overcome anything and achieve anything.
I was just as determined and over the 4 months, I have come so far in doing so, literally transforming into a truly confident and happy person.
My life has changed so much and I just cannot believe I made it. I imagined this moment, fantasised over it when i was younger and now i've made it.....
but of course just like i said when i made that old post so long ago now....I have come so far but have many miles left to go.
