What is your story?

The best way to summarize "my story" would be a combination of the movie "Enough," with Jennifer Lopez mixed with a few different Lifetime movies on loop.

Sure, some of my life happenings can be mapped back to a series of bad decisions... we all make those. My "bad" decisions have come from a good place.... my heart. I have to stop sometimes and remind myself that I am human and have made mistakes because of how loving and forgiving I am. Hindsight has given me the ability to reflect on things that only time and experience could afford me the understanding of. I am thankful for learning from mistakes... even if some of those mistakes were made more than once. Now... I know. 

It has taken me quite a while to figure this out, but I have often been drawn to help people. In some ways, this has caused me heavy heartache, and in other ways, it has been overly rewarding. Professionally, I have helped more people than I could count. As a firefighter/paramedic, I have selflessly given my time as well as my heart to people in need. Personally, I have done the same, but in a very different respect. Certainly I have damage from both.... but nothing compares to falling prey to a sociopath... Nothing.
