change.
It has been one whole year since finding out about something that changed my life and my family forever. I can't believe it's been a year. What a long, rough year.

My poor roommates had to deal with my dead self and I'll be forever grateful for them because they did. I felt like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I felt responsible for my family. After about four months, I started to feel happy again about little things and I started seeing some of the blessings in my life.
