Lately I've been thinking about what all has led me to where I am now.
I look back on all of my past relationships and mistakes;
some of those relationships that were indeed,
mistakes.
It's crazy to think about how everything you go through molds you into the person you are
today.
I wouldn't take back anything I've been through because each event or trial has led me to
where I am now.
I've been given heartaches and happiness to help me connect with different people on so many levels.
Sometimes things overwhelm me, true,
but when I stop and look at how far I've came I can breathe.
I know that I couldn't have dealt with any of this had it not been for my decision to become a
Latter-day Saint.
It's been almost 5 years now since I was baptized, and I'm still learning and growing on a daily basis.
I wish my friends and family could understand the happiness I feel because
I have built an amazing, strong testimony.
The things I continue to learn only push me to be a better person.
I know that through the Gospel and Atonement of Jesus Christ I can use my
strengths and weaknesses to help others.
No one should ever feel as though they don't deserve happiness just because of something from their past.
Accept everything you've went through in life for what it is, good or bad,
and use it to become who you want to be.
You're not given trials to get you down.
Trials are chosen for you because you have the ability and strength to overcome them.
