Have you ever had to make a decision between two things, maybe something as simple as the red dress or the blue dress? You can’t decide and so ask a friend to choose. When they answer, ‘the blue one’, you realize you wanted to wear the blue one all along.

Or maybe it was from my uncontrollable sobs as I look back at the last three years of my life. Three years ago was when I hit rock bottom. But despite what people would imagine what “rock bottom” would look like, mine was a silent, invisible bomb.
