27. I never told you this, but..

This time 5 years ago, I was so unhappy and so full of hate for myself I denied myself my vote. I wanted to vote Green. I didn't have a job, I didn't have any friends. I just sat indoors at home, all day, on my own, banning myself from doing something good.
I thought that people that didn't vote were bad people. I wanted to prove to myself I was a bad person by doing bad things. This was what my entire life was based around. It's one example of how determined I was to create situations where I could hate myself even more.

I can see now just how far I've come.

But not far enough to forget how lonely those days were.
