Reflection

When I take the time to reflect on my past experiences and all the people that have come in an out of my life, I just have to be extremely grateful because if it weren't for these people and the things I've been through, i'd never be the person I am today. I've learnt to never regret the things I've been through and maybe even the decisions I've made because that has really been the reason that i could move forward as a better person than I was yesterday, the day before or even three years ago.
