The day that I had to leave was a hard one...I was nervous and scared to start this new chapter of my life but I knew I needed to.
The country was gorgeous and I fell in love with it right away. When the bus arrived at Job Corps it was late and I was tired. The next morning was filled with activity and orientation. I didn't realize that there was only the upstairs of one dorm that the girls stayed in....the other 3.5 dorms were guys. What had I gotten myself into???
Well....the same things from before happened. I went back to my old ways...doing things that I used to do to get attention. Was this ever going to end? Would I ever find someone that truly loved me for me and not what I gave?
I was so tired of the worry and fear and being scared of being me. I was so tired of being someone I wasn't.
That day came on 4/4/89 when I met the man that I had been looking for. I had no idea that someone could care about me and love me for me. Was this real? Or was I dreaming?
More to come...
