To everyone:

I know I have not always made the right or the best decisions. I made mistakes, and sometimes they have been big ones. I do not know everything. I am aware I am young, naive, and have not had many life experiences. I know I have hurt others, and I am truly sorry. I know I will continue to make mistakes, and hurt those I love. I hope that they will know I never meant to, that I am trying my hardest and doing my best.
I try my hardest to remember and apply everything I have been taught. I am a people pleaser. I want everyone to be happy. I must realize that this is impossible, and that my choices should be based on whether they are right instead. I will still continue to try to make everyone happy, but I must let go of the hurt I feel when I know life is never perfect.
My life plans have changed, but my dreams and goals haven't. I know I am going down a road that no one expected or probably even wanted, but I am not going to back down. I know that by going down this road, my life will be harder and scarier than it would if I walked this road just a few years down the line.
I have thought and prayed long and hard about whether my choice was the right one. I continue to do so every day. I listen to what everyone has to say, and I take it into careful consideration. I am trying my hardest to be the best person I can be. I care about everyone, and I want them to know that. I am thankful for all the advice and lessons I have been taught that have helped me make right good decisions in my life.
I know this is the right decision for me. I can only hope I have your support.
