God blessed me with the opportunity to travel around the world and also meet some great people. I Made good friends, but also made some bad ones along the way.  I believe that what saved me and always protected me from evil is my strong belief in God and the fact that I always stayed true to myself no matter what. My advice: always be true to yourself and always be kind to others even if you have reason to believe that they are not to you.
Don't do good so people can talk about you, do good because you truly mean to do it. Believe in something and do whatever it takes (in good) to make it happen. Hold on to your dreams and remember: there is always light at the end of the tunnel, so keep trying and going til you get to that light.
God has ways of working miracles.
