After 8 years on this site I didn’t think I’d ever get to TV star let alone pass that. I’m so grateful for all the people I’ve met along the way & honestly this website does shape people into who they become in one way or another.
I want to keep this short and simple, but most importantly I want to thank one person in particular from this site who I genuinely consider a friend for life, maxi1234. You have been there for me for a while now and we have gone through ups and downs together, I didn’t think a level up blog would be dedicated to someone else but you 100% deserve it.
I’ve recently been quiet on the blogs page and have only recently returned as I’ve been fighting my own demons. I’m sure anyone who has me on social media knows I’m out 24/7 constantly partying and out for literally 3 days at a time without going home. This isn’t easy for me to say and anyone who has gone through similar can attest to what I’m saying. I have a problem with alcohol and substance abuse, this probably isn’t the place to be sharing this but at this present time it’s the only place I feel like I can. I’ve realised that this has slowly started to ruin my life & I am working on becoming a better version of myself. I hope that if anyone going through a similar struggle reads this, they can see that they aren’t going through this alone.
I just want to say to anyone that’s reading this, that yes, have a good time with friends & enjoy having a night out but know where to call it. For me for the past 6 years in my head I’ve just thought “it’s just a night out with friends” but recently I’ve realised that it’s more than that… I don’t want to go into details about any of it as that’s not what this should be about, but I just want to raise the issue with people who are on here in their late teens & early 20s and hope that this resonates with even just one person to not have to go through what I have.
I may come across as someone with all the jokes in the world and plenty of banter, I have done a lot in my life that I’m proud of, I’m one of the only people my age that I personally know that l has independently travelled all over the world in addition to having an amazing job in a field that I love and being surrounded by friends and family that I care about, but when it comes time to address issues that you’re facing, you need to be brave enough to do so. I’ll never forget what Max has done for me on and off this site and for that I’ll cherish him forever
Tagging a few people who have made my time on tengaged memorable and for that reason I have 0 regrets.
