Alot has happend over the past 2 years I myself have grown to be a new person.

my mums passing brought  some very toxic and negative times with it.

But all made and lead me to be the person I am now.

After months of cutting off  from all my family and freinds I decided to rekindle and make up for all the hurt I had left them  with.

Starting with my aunt corinne shortly after the talk we had that one late night we started meeting up more regularly which ended up in us attending therapy toghther this helped us move past alot of issues we had with the loss of my mum I also moved back in with her.

Now our relationship is just as strong with both of us supporting and talking to each other like a team would.

We also finished the home reno which sealed the new start for all new memories and pains we will face in this new chapter.

I next set out to make up with the group i sent  out a small text requesting a meet up at our old spot with no pressure of showing up.

off course that wasnt needed as all showed up and where all given a platform to share their   different emotions to me.

Lacey, bella and mason were easy to forgive me  but still requested sometime to work me back into there lives which I accepted happy to have them back.

Carter was hesitant at first but soon shared his feelings of anger to which I fully took on board which eased him making him forgive me aswell.

But the two hardest and most diffcult ones to convince where brian and stephanie both had  became each others support in my absence both stubborn and angry at my  actions to which I had to beg and work back their forgiveness.

After  buttering up both they easily accepted me back clear relief and happiness in having me back.

Stephanie however was  most happy to have her best friend back as was I.

All families where quick to support and forgive me aswell some even assuring me forgiveness and apologise where not needed.

After that bonds and relationships only grew stronger some even deeper.

All throughout this I was studying to become a nurse determined to follow  my mums footsteps  and be better.

I graduated the early part of this year with a full master's degree with family and freinds around to celebrate and  support me.

Shortly after I landed myself a job in the local pharmacy this is where I have stayed up till now learning the ropes to work my way into a bigger hospital.

By  night  however was a different story.

Through my dark times I wracked up the title of local race champ aswell as the code name of viper.

Known for being a reckless but skilled driver I didnt care at the time getting into fights and partying hard which lead to some time in jail.

Up till this day though I hold the title of race champ still known  for being reckless but skilled. And alot more respected than my early days almost everyone knew my  race name some feared it others praise it.
