I truly understand what it's like to struggle with my "former self"..I have people ask me "what has happened to you; you never used to be like this"..I had my spirit broken a long time ago when I was very young, so I continue to struggle with it now. I never want to bother anyone so I tend to let people (my family, and sometimes friends) walk on me, and talk down to me, so until I learn how to change, this has become my life..
