ten.years.ago.

a lot happened in 2003. a lot. it is actually hard to believe that so much could happen all within 12 months. ten years later, i can look back and smile with satisfaction.

2003
1. told my parents i was molested by a man when i was 7

2. started a relationship with a therapist i still see on occasion when shit gets real

3. graduated from high school

4. ditched girl clothes and discovered "fashion"

5. sodomized and sexually assaulted by a man i worked for off and on throughout high school

6. gave statement after statement to investigators, d.a.'s, and detectives

7. started a battle with depression induced bulimia that lasted several years

8. entered college weighing 90 lbs and chemistry became my best friend

9.  i.came.out.

10.  met my "first girlfriend," a term i use extremely loosely for a multitude of reasons 10 yrs. later

2013
1. i have the most unbelievable girlfriend. she is the most genuinely good person i've ever known, let alone loved.

2. i own a company with my best friend. iCapital is one of my proudest accomplishments.

3. i break all of the executive/corporate rules with fun clothes, rockstar hair, colored tattoos, and punk baby gauges.

4. i am overly happy and perfectly content with this life that i so luckily get to share with cole and our boy jake. i have a great relationship with my family; a company that doesn't stress me out; a life that i never thought i'd have.
