For the first time, in a long time;

I think I have found the place I'm supposed to be

even though I'm not there yet.

Everyone is afraid to admit who they used to be, sometimes that's all we need.

People's life stories can save people's lives.

"An alcoholic is a person who gets into a wrestling match, stands in the middle of the ring and try's to fight but always gets beat up no matter how many times, it never fails. "

'even on my weakest days, i get a little bit stronger'

'It's okay, to not be okay.'

Dear Daughter,

If you are in a dark, uncertain place right now in life,

know that I am there. I will give light to your eyes and bring relief to your situation.

-Your Heavenly Father

set me free lord, just set me free; that's all I ask .

"Nicole you are bright and shiny to me, there is not one speck of dirt on you"

I never used to think that everything happens for a reason, I always considered that as just a saying; but now looking at my life and putting all the peices back together I have realized that everything does in some odd way happen for a reason. Do we know that reason right away? No.

But as time passes, something beautiful comes from our regret and our mistakes, something beautiful rises from the ashes. So when I say things happen for a reason, that is exactly why.
