A leap into the unknown Colombia

when i first came here, to Colombia, i was no one. i had nothing. literally. no money, no family, no language, no friends. nothing. i have decided to come here to get away from a life full of abusing and hurt. i didn't know what to expect, the only thing that i knew was that i was going to be okay. or maybe i didn't really know it, its what i wanted to believe because i know that if ive let other thoughts to invade my mind, i would've gone crazy. not saying that i havent. just another kind of crazy. my life here is an adventure. wild and exciting. scary but worth it. i feel like the things that i have gone through here would help so many girls out there. actually both genders but mostly girls. because that is what i am. a girl. and for a reasonable amount of time, it was a girl against the world. that's how it felt like.
