I feel like the photo really speaks for itself... . But I wanted to share this with you all, so you have a better idea of me... . Of who I am... . What we go through does not define us... . We define ourselves... . And we usually reach that definition, after we’ve gone through enough life experiences to truly understand what is important... . And I don’t mean important to the world, or society... . I mean what’s important to us... . For example... when I was still homeless, and doing heroin everyday, it’s because THAT is what was important to me... at the time... As much as it hurts to say, that’s true... . I didn’t believe that then, and I would of never admitted to that... But it was true... . That’s why I chose to do that... instead of something else... . I needed to see that in myself, and really understand it, to be able to grow through it... . I’m sharing this to hopefully reach someone who needs it... . To uplift them, and reassure them, that this isn’t the end, no matter how bad things may seem... . Don’t run from your issues, insecurities, or whatever it is that’s holding you back from being where you wanna be, and doing what you love... . You have to go head first, straight into it. . You have to steer the boat straight into the waves... . If you want to make through the storm to the other side... . . . . . . . . . #liveyourbestlifenow #affectchange #bethechangeyouwanttosee #inspirationforyou #celebratelifeeveryday (at Brentwood, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvP-GzjnaVs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bg6jdhox9ppv
