Since we cant change the past, I have filed this issue away and I concentrate on todays issues that need to be resolved. As for the future,my advice is live for today, (this is very important), as tommorow may never come. Dont leave till tommorow, things you can get done today.

At first, I was devastated, and went through a lot of drug use and self abuse. But, there is hope! I got sober, and became a doctor to help others. I found a since of purpose, and started to love myself. I am extremely grateful for the medicine that allows me to live a normal life and stay undetectable.
