Pretty much in every measurable way. Finally found a job I love, and I put my all into it. Before I was always just doing enough to not get fired (until I did). And I discovered something, I am really good at what I do and take a lot of pride in it. Things are very bright for me professionally. Much closer with my family. My friends respect me more. And I met the love of my life. A year ago at this time I thought none of those things would ever be possible for me and that I would die very young and alone. Now I'm excited for the future and look forward to a long, healthy life.
