Why I left New York
Well, there's been a whole lot of question as to why I would leave New York. Well, I guess you can say my depression was at it's peak at the time. October sixteenth, 2008 I lost my cousin. Sarah was very close with me. She helped me through almost everything. When I heard she had committed suicide, I was in shock. She was happy, so I didn't understand. She had an apartment with her boyfriend, they had a beautiful little boy, she was safe from the hell she once knew. Well, after the funeral I was at my worst. I became a drug addict and an alcoholic. My drug of choice was heroin and my best friend was booze. I didn't care what kind of booze, just as long as it knocked me out for the night. February eighth, 2009 my mother had died. I would much rather not get into details on that. Well, by that point I was up to twelve bags a day and had no money whatsoever. I needed my drugs, I needed to pay my rent, and I couldn't ask my sister, Jessica, or brother, James, for money for they had dropped me when they found out about my excessive drug use. I had to resort to working as a prostitute. It was the most degrading thing I have ever done and I deeply regret it. While on the job, I met Adam Wishneski. He took me away from my job. For a while we hid in his Queens apartment, but New York was too much for me. I was at the point where I just really wanted to die. May of '09 we moved to Pennsylvania. Since then, we took things slowly. I entered a rehabilitation center in September 2009 and was released on December 20th, 2009. Ever since, things had gotten better. To this day, I still haven't spoken to my sister or brother. I'm not sure if I ever will again. I am currently engaged to Adam and we are scheduled to wed in June of 2011. I've matured a lot within the past few years. My life has gone downhill and up again. I am currently the happiest I've been in years and it just gets better.
