“I was lonely, depressed, negative, abusing alcohol, drugs, pushed away family and friends. I felt as if I couldn’t talk to or trust anyone.
“This was a result of not opening up and refusing to lean on my loved ones and simply just pushing myself little by little to be positive. I know that day to day life can seem extremely exhausting, impossible at times.

“I’ve been through those times when it seemed as if those positive, energetic vibes were never ever going to be reality.
