Graduation Day! - through Hell and Fire

I finally have my Graduation Day pictures!

*on stage recieving the Diploma*

*my tiny self amongst fellow friends and classmates*

this was a day to remember.

I know that for some this is no big deal, but there's times you just have to say:

"you know what? you made a great effort, finnacially, personally, and you came out golden baby!"

that's my feeling.

these past 3 years were amazing.

I made friends for life, and promises of keeping in touch and visiting each other in each ones country!

I wore my Traje as an uniform of battle and I had the academic experience.

I met the love of my life, and my plans of moving to England alone...

... transformed beautifully into woody Norway with the metalhead of my dreams.

after so many years of pure hell in my life, a traumatic childhood, hellish teenage years... all which was robbed from me.

I crawled through pain and shattered dreams, with a strange force inside of me that will not let me give up.

I don't know what forces keep me going but...

I survived.

and now, I can peacefully look at my present life and say:

I've never been happier.

I feel hopeful to say... the hard part's over.
