Filling the Mental Cup

Today is a hard day. On this day in 21017, my grandfather passed. Sending my younger self into a deep depression. The kids at school were bullying me already this just made everything worse and all of them hate me more. I made it out of that depression a few years later. after lockdown in 2020. I changed schools away from all the people that tormented me and I am now 20 years old, happy, healthy and taking each thing said to me with a grain of salt. 

Growing up and maturing has made me realize so many things and one thing is that all those people that hurt me are small minded insecure children. I am confident and strong and proud of who I have grown up to be. My grades are improving with each school term and I am on track to become a teacher and hopefully defend children like me who had nobody to defend them within a school. No more standing around watching young girls and boys get told they aren't good enough. Only bring children up and filling their cup.
