I Am Not the Person I Used to Be

Over the past five years I've changed a hell of a lot. I used to be full of self loathing, unabled to accept myself or my sexuality and consumed with anxiety. I used to drag myself through each day too scared to think about the future.
It's taken a long time to overcome nod start to change my life, small steps at first, each time pushing myself off my comfort zone, getting a little braver, a little more resilient, until I have reached this point, I now no longer fear the future, I instead look to it with a newfound confidence. I still get dark moods every so often, but they always pass, and are never as bad as they once where.
I know it sounds like a cliche, but small steps are the key, be brave and find the strength to ask for help, you can get through whatever life throws at you, one step at a time.
