“Living my life to fullest and cherishing this time I have left on this earth by doing things that bring me happiness!”
Since I have been on this earth, I have witnessed and experienced a lot of things in life. I have witnessed things such as abuse, and violence.

Living my life to fullest is the only way to ensure my happiness. I do not want to continue letting past experiences interfere
