I've learned a lot definitely throughout the years. I'm 23, but I feel like I'm a lot older with an old soul in that I do have some knowledge and life experience to maybe spread along to the younger generation, people who may be going through something similar who I can relate to or people who have been through the things I have just to share the pain with because we all struggle regardless of where you came from, what your background is and what you've been through, if you're an addict or not or if you struggle with mental health or abuse or trauma or anything that affects you negatively we all have our own problems and our own issues but that doesn't mean we can't help each other and share the pain with one another and spread knowledge and advice and humility and integrity with fellow people of the world.
