because of you...

i've learned what it's like to have my world ripped apart.

i know what it's like to be disrespected & under appreciated.

i have never felt more rage & bitterness than i do now.

i've learned how NOT to be a parent.

i second guess people.

i know what it's like to fail. badly.

i have been taken for granted. we've all been taken for granted.

i wouldn't have made the decisions that i did.

i wouldn't have acted the way that i did.

i stood up for myself. i stood up for my friends. i stood up for my family.

i learned to appreciate what i have.

i learned that you can't always get what you want.

i sleep well at night.

i don't miss the stress or the pressure.

i am thankful for the different opportunities.
