All through the 18 years of my life, I've had situations which required decisions to be made. Some decisions I made, and some were made for me. From choosing between colleges to choosing between blue or pink clothes to be put in when I was born.
I've struggled all my life to be given the chance to choose my own life circumstances. I strive to be able to do that. Every day.
Because I know I'm able.
I don't need others to make my decisions for me anymore. I never have.
I don't mean I'll make all the right ones.
I'll fall down.
I'll screw up.
I'll get my heart broken.
I'll cry.
I may or may not get back up.
I'll make my own fair share of mistakes.
But one thing I know,
Whether or not I'm fine.
The mistakes I make may be bad,
But at least they'll be mine.
