My Introduction.
Hey everyone!
This is my first time ever attempting to even make a blog, so please be patient with me through this little adventure and feel free to give constructive criticism so I can better improve my blog, and your experience as readers!
Anyways, My name is Chelsea! I am 22 years old for only about the next month. I am in a relationship with my true soulmate, Brandon. I am also a mother to the most beautiful, compassionate, fierce little girl, Reagan.
I have been writing since only God can remember. It has always been the subject that I excelled in ever since 4th grade, when my teacher leveled me at a college level writing. I write because words have an effect on me, and the deepest parts of my heart and soul.
A few other hobbies of mine include singing, and photography also. So all the pictures that will be on my page will be ones taken by yours truly, or my love Brandon. He also takes beautiful pictures! A lot of me, too. Haha. Singing on the other hand, is the gift I feel the most that God blessed me with to make a mark on other peoples lives. I have sang ever since I could talk. It is my safe place, my therapy, my escape. I have gained my own audience the past couple years. It does not have very many people in it yet, but the few that are drawn to my voice are the few lives I have touched already.
My life already lived was nothing like any other 22 year old. Honestly, my story is nothing like any 60 year old that I know. I was dealt a card with lots of trials, struggle, and tribulations.
I will make this a very brief summary because one day soon I would like to make a video of me telling my story for the first time.
I was born addicted to crack cocaine, and was later on adopted at ten years old by the family who ended up raising me since I was 11 weeks old. I grew up with a lot of abandonment issues, which later led in my teenage years to problems with codependency with men. I was suicidal since 8 years old, I remember being my first attempt. A lot of troubles were in my high school years due to boys and my codependency, and my parents eventually moved us from Michigan to Ohio at the age of 16 so I could start a new life.
At the age of 17 I became pregnant, and spent my whole senior year of high school wobbling around every day, until the very last day of school when I brought the most beautiful pieces of art into this not so pretty world.
But damn, does she make it brighter.
When Reagan was 2, I met my future husband, who after about 5 or 6 months of friendship introduced me to the life of drugs, opening a whole different world for me. One that would later lead me to destruction, jail, homeless, worthless, and in rehabs.
Reagans dad dies from a heroin overdose after being over a year clean.
I get off of heroin.
That was a year ago. Today I still struggle with addiction, thinking errors, and just battling to be the follower of Christ, the good mother, daughter, sister and girlfriend that I know and want to be.
I am going to a month long inpatient treatment here, soon.
But until then I hope you guys like what I have to share with the world.
Thank you for reading. :)
