“When I was younger I wasn’t very nice to other people. My mother got cancer when I was fifteen, and although she survived it, we struggled a lot and it made me very insecure. My insecurity made me treat people badly so they would feel as bad as I did, and I was feeling bad all the time. This made me lose my friends and I ended up moving group to group and eventually it got so bad that I didn’t have anywhere to go. Only then I realised I was no longer a good person. The worst thing was that I knew it wasn’t my natural behaviour, my actions weren’t even intentional, but it just grew over me and I become that person. This realisation made me rethink myself and change. It wasn’t easy but it’s all behind me now and I am me again!”
