Strength, Purpose, Love
By: LeJessica Henderson
    We all have problems. We all have been through things. Some people have faced thing worse than others. Do you have flashbacks? Do you have nightmares that wake you up crying? Do you let it get the best of you? I know all of those things have happened to me. 
    I have let my past control me and lead me down a path where I always hurt people. I had to stop blaming the people that hurt me for my wrongdoing. I had to finally move on with my life. I let the past be the past and I became a better person once I did. Yes, what they did to me was wrong, but it shaped me into a strong, loving, caring, and awesome person I am today.
    I’m just saying, “DO NOT LET YOUR PAST CONTROL YOU!” I know it’s easy to blame someone for your wrongdoing, but it’s not right. Once you learn how to say, “Yeah, I’ve been through,this and that, but I don’t let it affect how I am. My past is my past and it has shaped me into a better person today,” you can move forward and live your life without letting your past affect you. 
    Keep your head up! We all struggle in life, it is just how we handle it, that detects who we really are. You can move forward and become something. Don’t shut everyone out because of what happened in the past, it will just bring heartache. Let people in. Let people help you. You are loved! You are cared about! You have a purpose!
