Life is what you make it to be- it can be heaven or hell. Last year, it was almost always hell. I was very depressed, I hated myself, I thought I was ugly and worthless. I then realized that life isn't worth living if that was how I was going to live. I talked to a counselor, was prescribed medication, and even started getting acupuncture and taking Chinese herbs. I believe that is mostly what helped me-partly because it worked but also because I realized my true motivation which is to be an acupuncturist and naturopathic doctor. I started to excercise. Now I am a very happy person who believes he is beautiful and worthy of anything, and with plenty of goals. It is never to late to become who you want to be deep down inside.
