Life's a car ride...Sometimes it's cruise control down smooth highways. Other times it's potholes on rural roads.

It's like you wake up one morning, and decided that how you've been in the past doesn't have to define who you are in the future. Simple as that.

But it there's anything I've learned in the past few months, it's that the only thing that's certain in life is that nothing in life is certain.

Prior to being bullied, I was a very footloose sixth-grader. You know, I was quirky, I was creative - I really felt good in my own body. And when I was bullied in seventh grade, my self-esteem tanked.

I think that being bullied is a shameful experience.

The one thing I do remember is that as I retraced my steps through all the familiar streets of my life, Inow felt completely lost.

I love being reminded that existence itself is all about the tangling of souls.
