This was something I posted near on 2 years ago.

I was in a bad place, I had lost much and my life seemed upside down.

I am here to say that 1 and a half years later I am much better.

I am in college now, after passing All my GCSEs, even if I did scrape some, and I am doing something I am so passionate about and for once, the way ahead seems clear.

My dreams, hopes and ambitions are all laid out on a line for me and I know exactly where I want to be and what I want to do.

After lockdown, I'll be 17, which in the UK means I can learn to drive.

I have worked my ass off for a year to afford driving lessons, I have put away half of my wage every month to do so.

I got a job at 16 which had always been a goal of mine since I was little. And I did it.

It's the small milestones that really make a big difference.

My message is simple

Time.

Time really does bring what's meant to be.

Hard work.

Hard work WILL pay off eventually, even if it takes a year or more and when it does, it will feel good!

Ambition.

Ambition is so important, it makes you strive for more. You won't stop until you get what you want.

All these things make you successful.

Sure, I still have days where I'm sad and everything feels lost. I do. And I probably always will, but it's about not letting that take control.

I hope you all stay well and if anyone needs me, my dms are open as always
