Growing up I wasn't the greatest person, especially not in my teen years. I was disrespectful, always told my mother I hated her, always getting into trouble at home. Sometimes it seemed like I didn't know anything but trouble.
When I was 18 and I had finally gotten a taste of freedom, it was like I was hooked on crack or something. I wanted more, I would fiend for more, always wondering what else was out there. I was reckless, I did what I wanted to do, I didn't care who I hurt in the process. At that point all I cared about was going out, partying, drinking, and doing drugs.
For me it was a lifestyle. I don't think anyone knew if I would ever break out of that particular lifestyle. Hell even I didn't know, I had my doubts too.
Now, I'm 22, I work full time, I live back at home with my family, but I'm getting my life on track. It took a really long time, and I wish I had realized what I needed to do sooner.
My daughter is my guardian angel, she saved my life. If it wasn't for her I don't know where I'd be. Probably in a ditch somewhere. So Hailey, if one day you see this, just know that I love you with all my heart, and you truly are the greatest person to ever come into my life. You saved me from myself, and that is something that no one else could ever do.
