Warning- The following may be too intense for some readers

Two Years Ago my life changed forever in the worst way possible

Two Years Ago I almost lost my life

Two Years Ago I thought nothing would be the same… and I was right

Two Years Ago I woke up thinking life would be okay

Two Years Ago I thought I’d never see my family and friends again

Two Years Ago I sat 5 feet away from death

Two Years Ago 3 people died, 2 of which I knew

Two Years Ago I sat in a small room for 45 minutes, not knowing if I’d make it out alive

Two Years Ago I called my mom, crying as the shock of the situation wore off

Two Years Ago my dad escorted me out of what I believed was hell  in that moment

Two Years Ago I jumped at the slightest sound

Two Years Ago I broke down whenever I was in a crowd, something I still hate being in today

Two Years Ago I say a therapist for the first time… but not the last

Two Years Ago my community became a closely knit family

Two Years Ago I became closer to my friends, my teammates, my family

Two Years Ago I found out just how strong I actually was

Two Years Ago I grew into a more confident, brave, and strong person

Two Years Ago my family and friends helped me overcome my PTSD, and still do today

Two Years Ago I was scared… but I overcame my fear

Two Years Ago the sound of gunfire or anything similar would scare me; it doesn’t  much today.

Two Years Ago my perspective changed on a lot of things

Two Years Ago I stood by my friends side, a shoulder to lean and cry on

Two Years Ago I found comfort in things I still enjoy today and was aided in the healing process

Two Years Ago my life changed forever… for the better
