Glad to see that you have finally found your home. I am definitely inspired by your story, hopefully you help others rise to the cause. Writing is a passion of mine as well, so I can relate completely. Keep persevering through your obstacles and motivation will be created from you.

If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. Stand up for what you believe in, as you have done and it was believing in yourself. Alot of times people can't see the light within you, because they are too busy trying to find the dark in you. Let your light shine bright!
