Growing up was rather difficult for me. I suppose this can be explained by my environment but mostly had to do with myself and how I responded to situations in my life. Being upset with others and expecting so much from them, while putting too much pressure on myself always left me disappointed and angry. At a very young age I was jaded and depressed. In short, I was selfish but I did not realize this. Still, there was something inside me that wanted more in life. I would look around me and notice others and realize that there must be a possibility for me to be happy as well.
