For so long I held my emotion inside whether I was feeling happy, angry or sad. As I watched others at the Ark let go, I was able to let go of my emotions little by little, day by day. When I was finally able to let go of the pain I had kept inside, I started to blossom. I found my true inner self that I had masked with drugs and alcohol. Every counselor that I had at the Ark taught me something that worked, I could tell that they have been doing this for a long time and knew what they were doing. I felt like they really cared for me as a person. They helped me discover myself, who I really am, what my values are. They helped me get back in touch with who I am as a person.
