What has been the most challenging part of your life to date?

  • Building/molding myself into someone I’m comfortable with, without fear of what others may think or say. Being the person I want to be and not what others expect of me — basically choosing to live happy instead of worried all the time of how the world may perceive me.

Day 25
 
Have your past experiences shaped the fears and anxieties you have today?
 
  • Relationships wise, yes possibly but not in a negative sense – more in a cautious and be more observant and less tolerate sense.  Otherwise in real world events, yes, I have some fears/anxieties that I have had sense growing up and others that stumbled upon me as I got to be older due to the past- but I have gotten better or I am still working on making them less of  an issue going forward in life so that it doesn’t hinder me from great opportunities or honest friendships & relationships. 
We all can agree that we don’t want our past to control the present or future, but sometimes due to the past we have reservations and feelings towards certain aspects of life, do any of you have past experiences that have formed your fears and anxieties now?

Day 24

What from your past do you wish you could do over?

  • I wish I could do college over again, and had chosen a college based on where I wanted to go and not a college based on my mom controlling/making my decisions for me. I wish I could do my previous relationship over again and sometimes I wish I could do over my whole life again. 

Is there anything you wish you could do over again?

Day 23

Did you ever experience bullying? How did you deal with this?

  • Yes, I experienced bullying on multiple occasions throughout my life. I was bullied in elementary school,  two middle schools and two high schools. It was tough, because I was taught to stick up for myself and not allow people to do harm to me, thankfully, my bullying was all verbal but nonetheless, I never did stick up for myself. Normally, I would ignore it and say nothing, cry when I got home or had alone time, I would allow it to happen and not say anything to adults about it including my own family members. I pretty much did nothing. When I was being bullied by my own family sometimes, I did pretty much the same thing or I would lash out and cry, get mad and say really mean things back, remove myself from the room, etc. 
Have you ever been a victim of bullying? Did you do anything about it, or tell anyone?
