Nobody knows how much I suffered this year. I've seen the most vulnerable version of me, and I realized it took everything in me to survive from my silent battles. I almost gave up, and almost lost myself, because I was hurting a lot. Nobody really knows how many times I pulled myself together just to survive this year. And for that, I am so proud of myself for being here. I've seen the saddest version of me, the most wasted and devastated. But despite of that, I've learned that I am a strong person. I also learned to forgive myself for letting myself settle for less than what I truly deserved. I've learned a lot while I was hurting, even though I've seen the worst version of me this year. I still learned to accept and appreciate myself. This may be the most painful year for me, but at least I survived and learned a lot.
